To discover that we had cousins in America was a great surprise. It was a pleasure to meet Jim and his lovely wife. Unfortunately the time we shared was brief, but you left us with memories of a gentle man, a softly spoken man that showed a genuine interest in the family he met in England and Ireland. We send all our love and prayers to Pat and all our cousins at this sad time.

Jim was a cherished neighbor of mine for many years at GPE. Always a gentlemen in manner and appearance. Peace be with you Pat and with your family.

Uncle Jim has been a part of my familys life since my early childhood. He set an example to us all about the importance of family, as he always showed sincere concern, and gave help to everyone who needed it in his immediate and extended family. He was a great story teller, and said volumes with just one of his dry expressions. His soft spoken ways of communicating with people showed genuine respect to everyone he met. His spirit will be greatly missed, but it resides in his wife, his children, and his grandchildren, and with all of us who knew & loved Uncle Jim.
