My sympathies to you and your family. I can't tell you how shocked I was to learn of Jimmy's passing. Such a great guy and everyone's friend. He helped me so many times when I had boat problems. He was someone you always knew you could count on. And, he always helped you with a smile (and sometimes with a playful whine) no matter how busy he was. A truly great guy who had so very many friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him

Carol, we are shocked and greatly saddened to hear of Jimmy!s passing. He was the glue of the Abenaki Way neighborhood and greatly respected and loved by us all. His joy of skiing, boating, cooking for many and yes, even plowing the driveway, was witnessed by many of us and brought a smile to our faces. But most importantly we witnessed his love for you and his family, friends and doggies, including our Chauncey. We hope you both knew how much we enjoyed our years living across the street from you and of our spending time together when you cane "North". Our hearts ache for your loss. It is hoped that in time your grief will turn from sadness to smiles as you remember the many memories that you shared on your many trips -- from ski slopes to sunny days in the water. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family at this very difficult time. We will miss him.

So shocked to hear of Jimmy's passing. We worked together for years on the fireboat. Jimmy was the energizer bunny, full of energy and passionate about his family and being on the water. He taught me so much including some of his mastery in the kitchen. "Rest easy brother, we've got this.

Carol, I have not seen you for many years, but I know how much your husband meant to you. Just as he retired. So sorry. You and he were magic together. You are lucky that you spent so much time with the love of your life. Love Betty Wallace
