I knew Jim through an interest in motorcycles. I had the privilege of riding with him and some other folks to the Owls Head Classic Bike ride-in. I really enjoyed his company because he was funny and down to earth, thats to say no BS. My deepest condolences to his family especially to Mary.

Jim is a man I will never forget. From softball games, to Rawcliffes, to living together, Jim was a fixture in my life. I will always remember watching him play at Jeds and going 130 on the back of his motorcycle. My deepest condolences to his family and lifelong friends. He will be missed.

To Barbara, Hollis and Mary,and those family members I do not know, I was deeply saddened when Drew called and shared the news. Since I have been away, we would only rarely cross paths when I came home to visit and Jim never seemed to change. The messages that others have shared seem to echo that. He was a bright,gentle,and talented soul, and we are enriched by sharing a part of his life. I always visit the lower corner when I come home and remember the days in High School when deep bonds of friendship and shared mischief were formed. I'll miss him. You are in my prayers.

Jim was a good and kind person with a sense of humor. He was a little off-beat (not musically of course) which was part of his charm. He was a good father to our son, Ryan, and we maintained a friendship over the years which I appreciated.

Hollis, Barbara, Mary and family, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have many fond memories of times spent with Jim playing softball, listening to music and drinking a beer at the local pub. Jim was a good man and a good friend.

I am so saddened by the news of Jim's passing. I think of him almost daily when I water the beautiful lily I grew from tiny bulbs he gave me years ago. It has grown to be a show piece in my garden.
Jim was a good friend of my daughter and visited often
My condolences to his family. He will be .missed!

Jim was such a good guy and a good friend to all. I grew up with Jim and if it weren't for him and his help, I think I would still be sitting in 7th grade science class. Such a huge loss. He was taken way too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with the Condon family.

I heard Jim playing bass before I met him and thought, "I'd like to play bass like him". Then I met Jim and thought, "I'd like to BE like him". A wonderful man. Thinking of you and your family, Jim.

Reading that Jim had passed away put a damper on my morning. I knew Jim because I drive a car. He pumped gas in my car for many years at Rawcliffe's. And when my car was in the shop in the East Hampden Rawcliffe's, he sometimes ferried me to work and back. I always enjoyed his witty and intelligent conversation. He was one of those really nice people who always had a smile and something interesting to say. I will miss seeing him around town.
My condolences to his family and loved ones.

I had the pleasure of working a few gigs with Jim, in late 2011. He had such a great feel and tone on his bass. While I just recently got to know Jim, I was honored to call him a friend and I'll miss his stories and musicality. The other members of Juicebox, along with myself, offer our sincerest condolences to his close friends and family. We will miss him.

Dear Holis & Barb. Sorry to hear of the loss of your son Jim. Brother Jim D. called early this morning to tell me the news. We will try to make arrangements to go to the wake when we visit Jeanne at Ross Manor on Sunday.
We didn't know Jim personally but to lose a child is "tragic". So said my mother when our brother was killed in 1957. Art & Jim Dentremont

You can know a person for a long time and not really know him all that well. You can know someone else for only a little while, sharing a few minutes here, a few minutes there, yet really connect. I knew Jim for a few years, mostly in 10-minute increments. It was very revealing. He was pleasant and exuded a joy that didn't shout out but seemed to be truly at his core. It was if he didn't have to prove he was content. He just seemed happy. It was obvious he loved music, the thought of Key West and the people with whom he was closest. That was the Jim I knew, a few minutes here, a few minutes there. For those who knew him, especially those who had the privilege of sharing a lot more time with him, I am sorry for your loss.

Barb & Hollis, so sorry to read about your loss. Our prayers are with you both.Paul & Di Giles

not knowing Jim well,i did have the pleasure of working with him,a gentle,good musician ,and of course with his quiet ways a great parent R.I.P.
