I´m so sorry for your loss. My short time of providing rehab to Murph at Bride Brook is filled with so many memories. The snapshot that stands out in my mind is the last time I saw him. He was holding his beloved wife Cora´s hand. He had the biggest grin on his face and you could feel the love they had for each other. My condolences to the family.

Cora, Murph and Family,
Sylvia and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to you and your family in the loss of your loved one, Jim.
I had the pleasure of having known Jim and working with him for many years. He was an exceptional engineer who designed and installed many submarines' electronic systems thereby contributing to their being ready-for-sea. He was super intelligent, and I had the great pleasure of having known him. We will always cherish the memories we shared with Jim for he was a true gentleman who was always ready to asssist others in solving complex problems. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. May the memories that all of you have shared with Jim forever live. Luis and Sylvia Duran

Cora and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Jim was one of a kind. No matter what the situation was, he always had a smile and a kind word of encouragement. His laughter was infectious. He was always that special person who I could count on for support. He will always have a special place in our hearts.

I worked with Jim in the 1980s and 1990s. He was a great guy and I know he will be missed so much. Deepest sympathy to Cora and all of Jim´s family.

Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. We will miss seeing Murph at our CT Sun Basketball Games, as he and Cora sat next to us for years. Always smiling and greeting us and others enthusiastically with his "high five", we will also miss hearing him advise the refs, "She´s too rough, get her outta there!" Section 13 has lost a great fan.
