I'm so sorry for your loss, I did work for Jim at his house in North Haven for about ten years. I always looked forward to talking to him about his time in the navy and he reminded me of my dad as he was also in the navy. He had had a great sense of humor and always had a funny joke to tell. He will be missed, rest in peace Jim

Sorry to hear of your loss! He is in a much better place free of pain and worry. I always enjoyed his smiling face and friendly hello when he came for his coffee at Mobil. He will be missed. God Bless you Jim!!
