Jim (Ace) I´ve told anybody who would listen to me over the years "When grow up I want to be Ace Phelan". I still do and will always feel that way. Thank you for gifting me your friendship. My condolences to the beautiful family you and Molly molded over the years. Rest in peace frater. You were one of a kind.

My prayers are with the Phelan family. May God Bless Jim and your family. What an awesome man. Knew him at DeVargas JHS and he was a blast to talk with. Always joked with him that he was the WR that caught that Hail Mary pass at Boston College from Doug Flutie. Such a love for those kids at the school and his family. Always an uplifting spirit whenever we ran into each other over time. God Bless the Phelan family.
