Jim once threw a baseball 200 feet and hit me right in the eye and dropped me. It was my own fault but the point is that Jim raced in just to make sure I was okay. Good guy. Caring guy. My sincere condolences to his family.

So very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I spent time at his home when I was younger, and his family was so kind to me. I was very friendly with his sisters and thought Jim was a wonderful "big brother" to them. My sincere sympathy to the whole family.

A great guy and even a greater "Hawk"!!! The whole class of '69 at St Anselm certainly will agree!!

So many great memories with Jim and Pam. There were baseball games, basketball games, New Years ski trips, and of course sharing in our children´s weddings. Jim always had a smile on his face and you knew you would have a good time when he was in the mix. We will miss Jim and his smile

A great friend. I was envious of his energy. A good soul who never took himself too seriously. I would go to war with him. I will miss him.
