Jim and I were first cousins; his Dad (Jim), and my Dad (George) were brothers. The Feeley family was not close; mainly because our Dads and their siblings were basically orphaned at a young age, and were raised by various family members. I remember meeting Jim and his sister when we were kids; but we lost contact for probably 40 years. I did speak with him a few years before he passed away.
I know Jim is missed by his family and friends, and they have my condolences. I´m glad he and I had a chance to discuss our common family history. I spend time in Ireland, and have made close contact with Feeley/Feehily cousins there.
RIP, Jim

Dear Sunny,

I just got back from being out of town and Shelly informed me of James email about Jim.
I am extremely saddened by this news.
It had been a while since we spoke but as you know Jim touched our lives in many ways.
I had just told another friend last week about my adventure with Jim at the Auto Pound when my car was towed. WE laughed sooo hard.I feel so bad that I hadn't spoken with Jim in some time.
To James,Katie and Andrew, Take comfort in knowing that your Father was a VERY special person.. Loved AND Respected by many.
In this day and age that says a lot about a person.
With all our Love,
Larry and Shelly Bress
