When Jim was chairing the Town Finance Committee, it was a pleasure to work with him. We send our condolences to the family and were happy to remember him with a donation to the Reading Food Pantry.

Very sad to hear about my friend Jim's passing. We 1st served together on the Reading FinCom. Jim eventually succeeded me as Chair. We then served together on the RMLD Board of Commissioners. Jim plus myself and 3 other members were what came to be known as the "Dream Team" since each of the 5 members brought a different skill to the table. Jim's strength was his computer knowledge. Finally we served together at St Agnes as attendants. Toward the end when Jim could not get to church on his own I would go pick him up. Jim had a great sense of humor. He was always fun to be with. I missed when he got ill and I will miss him as I go forward.
God bless you Jim.

Sending love and condolences to the O'Leary family. We know it's been a hard road but now Jim is resting peacefully in God's memory. Jim always has a smile and something nice to say and he will be always remembered fondly. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
