I just learned of Jim's death today when the 11/4 issue of the Milton Times arrived. Jim dad, his dad's brothers and sister were my mother's beloved and respected cousins. My sincerest condolences to Jim's relatives.

Jim, We will miss your great haircuts and the chat while getting one. I will miss the many rides on Sunday evenings back to the Bay State. We will all miss you holding court in your land boat, the Caddy. No one will top your stay on one ship, what was it over 35 years? We will all miss you.
Paul Cass "65"

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
