My condolences to his wonderful family. Father Jim was such a big part of our lives when I lived in NY. He presided over my wedding, baptisms and even a family funeral. We also got to spend time together outside of sacraments as he´d often be at my aunt´s home on holidays. His kind spirit and gentleness will be greatly missed. He goes now to be with the Lord he faithfully served. A life well lived! Welcome back home Father Jim!
