Uncle Jim,
So many memories of you! My sisters and I remember your presence at all of our " big events" . I remember you driving my dad up to Mt. Kisco in between his treatments and you liked nothing better than a hot toddy...how you, daddy and Ned and I would enjoy this time together. You alway had a joke or something to share that made us laugh. You will be missed by all the McIntyre sisters, Susie, Patty, Lizzie and Barbara.

Uncle Jim, You will be sorely missed by all who knew you. I remember our trips on the Day Liner with my Dad and you and all my sisters to Bear Mountain that were always adventurous and all the great times with your fellow priests and Aunt Alice, your brother Tom, Joe and Aunt May at Nana McIntyre's. It was a great time and I have so many wonderful memories. You always said I was the first baby you baptized. Love you niece
