Not sure what to say?

We, Jimmys classmates and old friends from Brewster Academy send our deepest condolences to his loved ones that he left behind. We remember him as someone who always smiled, made people laugh and someone who never forgot a face. We will remember him as always being a part of our community. RIP Jimmy ~Classmates from Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro NH

So sorry to hear this tragic news. I hope you find peace and comfort with friends and family. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Remembering Jimmy and sending prayers and hugs!

Susan and ruthie, just saw this post and all I can say is I'm so so sorry. I lost my sister in nov 2013 and it's so hard when someone goes before their time. Sending you lots of love. xx- Raymur

I knew James and I got to know him very well. He was a human comet! A soul like James did not need to be around too long in a chaotic world. He came and he taught us how to look through the eyes of a true artist. His humor was like no other, and although he knew he was entertaining his audience with the wittiest of comments, to the point of making me laugh to tears, there was another side to him. He had a pure soul, despite human obstacles, and I will always remember the light in his eyes.

One of Jimmy's many great paintings...

My thoughts are with you, Susan, and your girls. I remember playing soldiers with Jimmy when he was eight years old...so long ago. We had many more years of his charm and talent, for which we are thankful. One of the most cherished things in my house is a painting I bought from him in Austin. It's a sail boat in a vast sea of color. It will always be precious to me, as he was. x.x.x.Mary Lou

Susan, I am so very sorry. One can lose a spouse but the a child going before the parent is unfathomable. My heart is heavy and my prayers are for you and your memories of him.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you continue to be comforted by the support of your family and friends.
