Dear Beaudoins,

Jim and I were fast friends the two years we spent together in Erin Meadows. We drove people crazy by referring to each other as 'Bob' Instead of Jim, due largely to his mom calling us Jim Bob. We had countless laughs on the baseball team, him at shortstop, me at second base, Brother Dan the coach. And we enjoyed fishing in Monches and shooting hoops for hours. Two years as a best friend is a long, long time, and his loss digs horribly deeply, even after some years of not seeing him. My love and tears and best wishes to all of you.

Any family or common acquaintances feel free to contact me.

Sincerely, Jim Gugin.

Dear Beaudoin Family,

Jim was one of my favorite gradeschool classmates. I am so sorry to hear that you lost him far too soon. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you.

Beaudoin Family

I knew Jim from grade school at SKS and will always remember his positive outlook and ability to reach out to people to include them in what ever was going on. For years, anytime I have seen the Beaudoin family name in something we are involved in, I always looked to see if it might be Jim as he was one of the people I always hoped to run into again some day.

My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

It was a beautiful service, Kim. Liv was a sweet girl greeting people and freely giving hugs. It was as if she knew we needed them just as much as she did.

Dear Kim, Olivia, and extended Family,

Our hearts ache for you since we heard of Jim's death. We wonder at the mystery of God's wisdom at a time like this, and we know that is something we will never understand. We only know that he was taken away from you all much too soon, and that he is with the Father now. Hopefully all your beautiful memories will sustain you at this time, and we are sure that every time he is in your thoughts, be it alone or family gatherings, you will smile and thank God for bringing him into your lives... if even for this short time.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all, and we will pray to God for your strength to get through this time, however painful. It is said that, "If God leads you to it, He'll lead you through it." We pray for your strenth and His guiding hand to take your hearts and minds to a peaceful place.

Our love to all,

"Auntie Mary Judy" and Ray Kunda

I worked with Jimmy over 23 years ago, for R.E. Beaudoin. Working with Jimmy and Danny was probably the best job I ever had; they made work fun. Even though I haven't seen Jimmy since then it still seems like it was yesterday. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family and we are thinking of you in our thoughts and prayers.
