My deepest sympathies to Myra and the boys, as well as, to the Mullany family for their loss. I worked with Jim many years ago in LA, at Otis Elevator back in 85-87. He was in Sales, I was the Sales Admin Secretary to the Manager. I introduce him to Myra, a very good friend of mine, at a party at my house and that started it all for them. I remember Jim to be a soft spoken, kind and gentle man. He was very hardworking and a loving husband and father to his kids. To his loving family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Jim was such a social person and we all loved his presence at our annual relatives' Christmas parties. We all enjoyed having him, as he was such a social and gregarious person. I am so glad that we were able to have our relatives' Christmas party last year, 2022, as there were no parties in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. Jim was his usual lively self and we were glad to see him. Jim will be sorely missed.

An angel opened up
the book of life,
to record the baby´s birth,
and whispered
as she closed the book
"Too beautiful
For earth".
Thank you for all the wonderful memories Jim.
May you rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jim, Myra, Justin and Harrison.
