Lori, Dan and Brandon,
We are so sorry for your loss. Jim was a great man. We just found out about his passing otherwise we would of paid our respects to your family. My boys learned baseball thru Jim. He was patient. I will never forget the day that Louis was up at bat during practice and kept missing the ball. Jim came up to me and said, " I think he needs glasses"! At first i thought he was joking, turned out Jim was right. he needed glasses. He was a good man. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We now live in South Glastonbury. Again, our condolences to you. My cell number is 860-205-4922 Warm Regards Deb, Louis, Sean, Big Lou Aguda and Paul LaRosa. As Dan may know Louis and his wife live in Denver Colorado his cell is 860-205-4922

Lori: I only met you once at Victor and Flora's cottage. I was so happy to see some of my old pals again, which included Jim. He was in my group of friends for many years through school, and a great guy. I am very saddened by his passing and send my sympathies to you and the rest of your family. God's peace be with you.

Words cannot begin to describe the feeling of loss at this time. To all the Murray family your loss is our loss. I will always remember Jimmy growing up as a kid and adult. I always looked forward to when the families got together. As an adult the smiles and big bear paw hand on my leg or back when you come and sit and say hello. I'm so sorry I missed last gathering the family had together . But comfort knowing you left great memories and pictures with the rest of the family . I will miss your visits at Yankee games to say hello and meet you and the boys while I was working . I hope Jimmy you rest in peace with Mom and brother now and all you have past away before us. Love always your Cousin Rich.

I have been working with Jim for about six months on a project for my company and found him to be incredibly pleasant, patient, easy to work with, and, most of all, friendly. My condolences to his family and friends.

Maybe one of the coolest, laid back men I ever met. That he made my Lori so special was the icing on the cake. A true gentlemen all the way through. I wish my dear friend Lori all the strength and love to get through these tough days ahead. Lori you are my sister and always on my mind. If he were like us and had to go through this I don't know how strong he could have been either. But you are here and you will survive. So. So. sorry. May he rest in peace forever. What a mensch.

Lori, Danny and Brandon, Julie and I are so sorry to read about Jim's passing. Of course we are shocked as I am sure most of West Hartford is today. Jim was one of the good guys. Cherish the memories, I know I will. Little league games, cooking hot dogs together on Jamboree days are just a few. Jim will be missed by all that were lucky enough to call him a friend.
Thinking of you,
With all our love, Ricky & Julie Ross xoxoxo
