James P. O'Rourke Jr.

My condolences to his family. I knew him from John Stark High School where he was a coach.

I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. We started at Devine Millimet about the same time and quickly connected with our upstate NY roots, support for the Orange, and Contoocook connections. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together at firm lunches, in the coffee room, and over an occasional post-work beer. A professional at his job and a really good man who will be missed by all. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Jim coached my son, Kellan, on the John Stark High School football team. I´ll never forget how much all the boys admired and respected him, and I know he felt the same for them. I got to know him pretty well, and always enjoyed my interactions with him and Emily. My deepest condolences go out to Emily, Liam and Thea, as well as the rest of his family. Rest in peace, my friend.

So sorry for this huge loss, prayers of comfort and peace in the times like this we take comfort in knowing we will meet again in the air or in Our heavenly home With our Savior anen

He was a good coach and a better man. He guided me through 4 years of high school football despite simultaneously being a father and a lawyer. He set a strong example of character, strength, and resilience that I still aspire to. I will always appreciate the time he gave, and the lessons I learned from him; it went beyond just football. My heart goes out to his family.

I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to James' family and friends. -Tim Lynch (Hamilton '94)

We knew Jim in the community and as a football coach to our son. He taught the young men, now grown adults, the importance of commitment, dedication, and individual contribution to a team that carries them through life now. Deepest condolences to Emily and his entire family.
