James R. Spear Jr.

I have just learned of Jim´s recent passing. Jim & I became the best of friends in 1968, at the start of my Ins career with St.Paul Fire & Marine. We worked together in the Boston & Springfield,MA offices. Bob Magnum was our Casualty Mgr during those yrs. Jim & I had very similar senses of humor while at work or during recreational times. I transferred to B´ham in 1973 with the St Paul but we stayed in constant contact for yrs via phone & Mgrs meetings. One of my most cherished friendships....

I was sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have many memories of him at St Paul, Shriners and New England Fidelity. He had a great since of humor and will be greatly missed.

We hold you in our hearts during this time of sadness. May your happy memories bring peace to you and your family. We will remember Jim as a gentleman who loved to help others.

Ed and I will cherish meeting and setting Jim up with his bride Pam. The lunches, dinners and Melha functions meant we spent a great deal of time together. The sadness we feel is overwhelming and we are positive Jim sits with Our Heavenly Father looking down with love on all who knew him. Always to be remembered and missed. A great man who in life accomplished so many things.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was such a good man. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Pam and family, Sincere sympathy on the passing of your loved one at this very difficult time. Hugs to all, Grace Sullivan

I was very fortunate to finally meet Jim this past summer along with his cousin Stan. I have done a lot of family research and determined that Stan and Jim´s grandmother and my grandmother were sisters. I then reached out to Stan and made contact, and ultimately the three of us got together in Chicopee this past summer, I am so happy that we were able to get together. I am so sorry for the family on Jim´s passing. I only wish that I had the chance to get to know him better. My thoughts are...

Dear Pam and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Jim was a great friend and will forever be remembered. Please accept our sincere sympathy
