Not sure what to say?

My dear Uncle Jim, you will be very sadly missed by all of your family in Liverpool. You will always be in our hearts and we have lovely memories to treasure. Sleep peacefully now Uncle Jim lots of love from Kelley, Dave, Ollie and Katie xxxx

Jim was a real genttleman. I worked with him at Union Carbide. He always had a smile and always was "there" to help or instruct no matter what you needed. Always treated everyone with respect and dignity. He's probably automating the "Pearly Gates" about now. Gail A. Sutton

My condolences to the O'Rourke family.
Jim was the technician to go to for any problem you might have had when working at Union Carbide, very knowledgable, he was a technician's technician

Mary, Jim will be missed. He will have a permanent place with the other dear souls that have shared the Mt. Alverna community. So glad you and Jim enjoyed traveling together that will give you many cherished and lasting memories. Our prayers are with you.

I was saddened to read in today's PD that Jimmy had passed. We worked together at Union Carbide when I first started in 73. He taught me nearly all I know about machining. He was a great work mate, mentor, and friend. Together we'd swear up a storm! Mary, you married a great guy and you have my sincere condolences.

A dear Uncle, we will miss you so much. Memories to cherish of happy times. You lived life to the full and will be terribly missed. Goodnight & God bless Uncle Jim ❤

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Praying for all of you
