To Jamie´s family:

I had the opportunity of getting to know Jamie professionally over the years at a 3 day CPA conference each fall that both of us attended annually as well as the monthly CPA practice management meetings we attended. I´m grateful for having that opportunity as he was always kind and friendly to everyone and quick with a smile.

To Jamie´s family:

I´m so sorry for your loss and when I heard the news, it brought me back to the memories of an epic childhood on York Street. Jamie was one of my closest friends growing up. Between Scouts, Red Sox games, sledding, softball and just goofing around with the kids in the hood, I have the fondest memories with Jamie as the group leader. My sincere condolences to the entire Draper family. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
