RIP Jim. I only met you in your later years as your Medicare agent but from our dealings I could tell you were a genuine person with a big heart! You had many friends and family and you will be sorely missed. RIP my friend.

My condolences to all of Jim's family and friends.
Jim was a kind and gentle man with a dry humor we all enjoyed. The NBHS Class of 1956 class held a reunion at the restaurant many years ago.
We talked about New Brunswick "then and now" many times and shared word find puzzles. Willing to listen and offer advice if asked, always with a smile. We will miss his presence and wish him God speed on his next journey.
Fondly, Phyllis

A beautiful man with a contagious smile and a wonderful wit. His children were his pride and joy. We will truly miss that spark of joy and energy when he entered a room. See you on the other side Jim
