If I were asked to say a few words aboth "the Broph", I couldn't do it... Not a few words!
The most remarkable thing about my 30 year relationship with him is that I can't recall ever entertaining a angry thought about him. I can't even say that about my mother!
The replacement of his infectious personality will be impossible: Cinco de Mayo will never be the same, nor Christmas, and,especially, and above all, his birhtday.
Keep a seat warm Jimmy, we'll all be joining you sooner or later.

My sincerest wishes for peace in this time of sorrow.. Mr Brophy always made me smile and his sense of humor was one of kind. He was my brother's coach, my boyfriend's neighbor , my classmate's (Jim Jr.) father and a true character to love, respect and remember.Godspeed. I am very sorry for your loss.

I've got some wonderful memories of the Senor'.As his roommate for around 4 years we had some great times at the Hacienda.The Sunday morning brunches,the 4th of July parties when it always rained,and the great camaraderie we had.I loved the Senor like a brother and I have truly lost one of my best friends.My heart goes out to Linda,Jim Jr,Colleen,and the rest of the family.I will miss him greatly.
P.S.For Linda-I am the last of Dirk,Biff,and Bunky and I can't remember which one I was.

I just wanted to take a moment and pass my condolences to Jim Jr. and Colleen. I never had the pleasure of knowing the rest of Jim Sr.'s family. As a highschool friend of Jim Jr.'s, we spent a great deal of time just hanging out at the Brophy house. Both parents always made us feel so welcomed and it was always like it was our own home. My deepest and sincere condolences go out to all of you that were part of Jim Sr.'s life.

Mr. Brophy went far out of his way to offer me support when my step-father died. I was a schoolmate of Jim, Jr., a teenager, and trying to figure out which way was up. I recall vividly seeing Mr. Brophy standing at the the graveside service in Starrsville, Georgia (not a convenient drive from Sandy Springs). It was not something he had to do and it has always struck me as an excellent example of how an adult can reach back and offer a helping hand. I can also remember a couple of really bad jokes and the look of amazement on his face when he didn't get the laughs he expected from a bunch of kids. Condolences to all.

I just wanted to let Linda and the family know that y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Mr. Brophy was a constant and life-long friend of my dad's (Bigger). I have grown up listening to stories of the trouble the two of them got into...I know my dad and many others will truly miss friendship and his contagious laugh!

The good ones are always taken too soon, and Senor was one of the best. If his time on earth is any indication, heaven's residents are already cracking up to Jim's favorite stories...none of which I ever heard twice.
Your legacy will live on forever in our hearts and minds, Senor. Your presence, however, will leave a void like no other. Cheers, my friend.

My warmest and sincere condolences to LJ, Jim Jr., and Colleen. Senor is so missed. I miss in particular his easy going, very approachable nature. He always gave a firm hug and a warm broad smile. I enjoyed the raucous times just as much as the milder, quiet, introspective times with Jim. Nobody, but nobody epitomized hospitality as Senor did. I miss him dearly.
God bless you Senor...I look forward to seeing you again on the other side. And when I do, I know I'll be greeted with a hug and a smile.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers for the Brophy family. It's a simple statement, but one with expansive meaning: Broph was a good guy. Jane and I always enjoyed his company. He was a gentleman. I enjoyed talking sports, particularly horse racing, with Broph. Next Kentucky Derby I'll put a couple of bucks on a sure winner in his memory. Rest in God's peace.

Words could never express how dear a friend Jim was not only to me but to so many others. I'm proud to say I love him and will miss him terribly. My heart and prayers go out to his wife Linda and the entire family.

Mr. Brophy first of all was a man that you could only give respect to. And secondly, he loved when his swimming pool was open.

Jim was a fine man. He always had time to share a few words and inquire about you and your family. We'll always remember Jim as the camera man for Billy P's Christmas bus trips.
Our deepest condolences to Linda and Lauren.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Jim. He was a joy to be around and a "character" to say the least. He'll be missed.
