Diane: Jim was a close friend during our run at Molloy. I was deeply sorry to read of his passing in the Molloy newsletter. I spent 32 years in the Air Force and lost touch with a lot of classmates (no social media like today). I always missed my relationship with Jim. Please know, I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Ed Boyle

Jim was a little too young to shoot hoops in the backyard with his older Brother, Bob but I remember he hung around us and was another Rhatigan boy at Archbishop Molloy High School! Sorry for your loss - Jimmy Simms (209th Street)
