Jim and I were best friends from grammer school, high school, and college. After the school years and his service we reconnected with a life policy. That business brought Jim to sell another policy to my future employer.He convinced my future boss to interview me. 28 years later I retired from the same company.
I will never forget Jim for always thinkinf of other people.
Jim, rest in peace.
Your old pal,
Fred Woods

Jim handled our insurance for many years, always a gentleman always such a fine man. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

I had the privilege of working with Jim at the Robert Hannon Agency back in the early 1980s. I was in college at the time, working part-time in a sales support capacity.
Immediately upon meeting Jim, one couldn't help but sense his innate kindness, intelligence, compassion, and professionalism. It didn't take long to also discover that beneath his quiet demeanor lay a wickedly sharp, dry-as-a-good-martini sense of humor.
To be in the company of Jim, Denny Hannon, Bob Hannon, Pat St. Leger, Pat Sullivan, Jim D'Andrea, Alex Palmros, Gene O'Reilly, and so many other fine people was both a blessing and, so often, a rollicking good time.
May God bless Jim and comfort all who love and mourn him. He was a gentleman of the first order.
In deepest sympathy,
