Words cannot express how thankful I am to have had you as my father. You will be missed forever. So many memories, lobster bakes in Maine, countless ice cream sundaes, always telling me not to worry. You took care of everything for me. Hardest working best guy ever!

I love you so much Grampy. You were truly the best - all of us grandchildren had such a special childhood because you were a part of it. I loved the Summers spent with you & Grammy & Mike in Maine, all of the holidays when you would let us look at your coin collection. Not to mention the countless times you would pick me up in the roofing truck in the middle of the day when I was "sick" at school. You will be truly missed always, but forever in our hearts. I know you are in peace now, and I know that you will always be with us. I love you!

You will be missed Uncle Jim, I will always have fond memories of us watching the famous Doug Flutie hail Mary Boston college game on TV with you. Watching you jump out of your chair as if you were a kid cheering for his favorite team.. You will be missed Uncle Jim but never forgotten
