The Torpey´s. Frank, Bev and Jim! Back in the day it was Jimmy!

The Torpey´s were woven into the fabric of our town - each in their own way.

Jim´s mom Bev was my mother´s made of honor and Frank, his dad could always be counted on for his interesting observations.

"Jimmy" had a unique personality and like his Dad he could always be counted on for a good chat.

Jimmy was a good guy and a lifelong friend. My condolences to everyone in our extended Benicia family.

R.I. P. Torp!

Jim Torpey was a good man and a true Benician. I can still picture him in that beautiful sports car. Always a kind soul!
