Not sure what to say?

I worked at a bar on East Main Street called the Harbor House for a while, and I met Sully when he used to come in for a drink. He was one of those people that talked to you like they've known you all your life even though its the first conversation they ever had with you.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your heart warming stories about Jim. Thank you Gloucester for the beautiful tribute on Saturday on the Explorer II, Marine Railways, and Madfish Grille.

Lucia, Jim and Kate Sullivan

Katie, Lucia and Jim,

You are in my prayers every day. I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget all those years vacationing in Maine with Jimmy. And although he laughed at me whilst Kraig tortured me:), he was greatly loved. My childhood would not have been the same without Jimmy. He will be greatly missed. I am thinking of you all daily! I love you guys!

To the Sullivan Family,

Please except my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Jim. Although I did not know him personally, I went to school with Kate, along with my sister, Jen. Jim obviously had great passion for his work and cared deeply about the things that really matter in this world.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sully and my son Ross were friends. Sully often parked at the end of our driveway when he was going to Brace Cove to fish. One day, a few weeks ago there was a knock at my front door. There was Sully , with a sheepish look, asking to borrow jumper cables. I said to him jokingly, "Don't you need a car too?" and he grinned and said, "Yes". I gave him the keys to my car. When he brought the keys back he said, "Thanks so much, and I'll bring you a couple of pounds of fish."
I...

Rest in Peace

Kate and family,

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim. . . He was such a good person and I loved catching up with him when ever I ran into him around the area I always left him laughing and smiling. . . He will be greatly missed by all that knew him including me!

Kate - I know you and Jim had such a close relationship I'm so sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family during this difficult time. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

The sadness that we feel is overwhelming. Jimmy was one of the family; always at our home hanging with Chris and friends. Our grandson, James will always be reminded that he was named after a wonderful young man.
