James R. Philbin Sr.

Oh Jim I am so sorry to hear of this. He was a good man who I was blessed to know. May God rest his kind soul.

My sympathies to the family, Jim was quite a guy, always a card at family gatherings, and will be missed, our family is getting rather small and I am so sorry that my health made it impossible to attend, God bless all of you. Rest well cousin Jim.

Ahh Jim we will miss your face when we sing Ain't that a Kick In the Head especially, and all your other favorites as you would sit patiently waiting for them. It just won't be the same. Your face I will see always and we will be singing all your favorites this Saturday in memory of you my friend, you will be truly missed.

love you always

While we didn't always agree, Jim was always thoughtful and well studied. He was also devoted to his family. The last memory I have of Jim is after I left my service in the Navy, and before I moved north for employment. We went out campaigning together, going door to door. I remember his "spiel" even now.

I send my deepest...
