I was doing some web surfing this evening and came across Jim's obituary. I have been out of the area for such a long time, but I remember Jim, and my friend (Jim's brother) Drew, and the wonderful Nagle family. I remember what happened back in 1971 with Jim's accident, and how hard he and the family worked toward recovery and overcoming Jim's resulting challenges. I know this is a blessed family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Nevin's family,
I went to the church this afternoon - shortly after 3:30, but saw no signs of any gathering. I wanted to be there to represent my father, Scotty Wood, who owed, and understood that he owed, so much to Nevin and the family who spent many 'clambake weekends' without their father. We - our whole family - understood the tragedy and the challenges of Jim's life and of the lives of those around him. I am sorry I didn't see you, today, to share these thoughts in person.
Sincerely,
Pat (Wood) Beldon
