Just learned about Jimmy's passing and I'm in shock! I met Jim 46 years ago and have been friends ever since - still exchanged Christmas cards and laughed it up on the phone. So many fun and crazy memories with him, Tammy, Charlie, Lorraine and the beach gang - there is only one Jimmy Haddad and there will never be another person like him - kind, funny, whitty, a good listener, helpful, vocal,great sense of humor and a big smile of teeth to greet you. Trips to Key West, Newport RI won't be the same. Now you can play Trivial Pursuit up there with my mom & Martha.

I was absolutely stunned to hear the news of Jimmy's passing. He was like a member of the family at the beach. We fondly called him the mayor of Brant Rock! Anyone who got to know Jim was fortunate to have had him in their lives. Rest in peace, my friend.
Sincerely, Jeanie Rudenauer Larson

Jim, I will miss your smile and huge heart. I regret not visiting you more often as you were a very interesting person to talk with. I will always remember that summer day, when we sat along the Cape Cod Canal talking. But, I know I will see you again. Bye for now.

Jimmy, You left us too soon. I just saw you at Lynda's the Friday before. As I always did, I placed my order for a medium fried scallop and fried clams, (jokingly) because I missed Charlie's and
you. You smiled as always and I smiled back. If I could take that
Friday night back, I would have got out of my car and gave you a big hug. You will be missed.

Love ya!

So long Jimmy, I'll remember you always. So giving. Thanks for all the times you put me up in your place by the sea when I was visiting the area. And the best fried clams and onion rings anywhere! Brant Rock without you is empty to me.

I'm so sorry of Jim's passing. I met Jim when I worked at one of the town elections in 2011; I was lucky enough to have been assigned to work at precinct table 7 with Jimmy and I vividly remember that he was a very friendly man, very talkative to everyone and he had a smile on his face that was contagious. His legacy and impact on Marshfield will live on forever. The Haddad family are always in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

good bye Jimmy. We have been friends for over 30 years. Life will never be the same. I still can't believe this has happened. Love Lynda

So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. As a resident of Marshfield with a post office box at Green Harbor for thirty years, I will truly miss him and his great personality. He was Marshfield. To his family I send my deepest sympathy.

To the family of Jim. It's sad to hear of Jim death. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim will certainly be missed at the Green Harbor Post Office. He was such a wonderful person, had such a great smile and always so pleasant when I went to the Post Office. Being a Avon Representative, every time I open the door and the bell went off Jim would say "Avon Calling" Jim will certainly be missed. RIP
