So very sad to hear about Jim's passing. He was a gentleman - always kind with a great sense of humor. He was so very proud of his family. Through the FNB contract negotiation days, he was professional and level-headed in an unenviable job. I enjoyed working with him and learned a lot from him.
Rest in peace Jim! May the perpetual light shine upon you!
My deepest condolences to Jim's family for your tremendous loss.

August 7, 2014

Our sincere sympathy to Jean and all the Speyer family in the sad loss of your beloved Jim. We are having a Mass said for the repose of his soul here at our church in Leesburg VA, and we will be keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers as you endure the days ahead without his close presence. Hopefully you will take comfort in knowing that he is now watching out for all of you from his place in Heaven. With much love, Don and Marge Pauly
