Cousin Jim, you were the link that bound this family, the mentor that guided many, and the model father. Your heart was weak only because you offered so much of it to others.

It was an honor and privilege to work with Jim at Butler. I was was shocked and sadenned when I heard about his passing. I will fondly remember Jim as always being the first to help anyone with any situation, often times putting his own needs second. He was a very kind and caring man. My deepest condolences to his family. God Speed Jim.

I will always miss my "Jim-Bob," a name he hated, but one I continued to call him, anyway. My heart is heavy, he was a great guy, but I'm sure Heaven is filled with tvs for Jim to watch the Patriots.
We loved him at Butler, what a character! A big help to a great many people.
Sincere condolences to Jim's wife and children, and granddaughter.

Pat Sullivan (Johnston, RI)

Uncle Jim words can't begin to express how sad I am and I how much I will miss you. You were so much more than an uncle to me. You gave so much of yourself to everyone. You were always there when we needed you. You were the most caring man I ever knew. You were there if we just needed someone to talk to and you always knew what to say. When my mother was dying you made a promise to her that you would be there for me and look at after me. You more than kept that promise. You will always be in my heart. I love you.
Deb (Warwick)

To those of us whose lives you touched, your smile will remain forever in our hearts. . . .

Dear Brother Jim,
You have forever changed my life and gave me a understanding of true compassion and love.
You understood the meaning of He's Not Heavy He's My Brother.
Your loving touch and compassion is the greatest gift you gave us, and even after you transcended this world you still
reached out to comfort me in my need.
You have a gift of touching people to there very Soul.
And how you reminded me of the song I used to sing when
I was a child.
I will do my best to pass on your Compassion and Love
to others as I travel through this world.
It will be a Gift from you.
So with that I will carry you with me and me with you forever.

Your kindness and compassion continues as you have come to me and Dot in spirit form and allow us to experience how happy you are behind the veil. You would not leave us without letting us know all is well with your soul. Thank you for sharing your heavenly peace with us. Missing you even though you are not gone but just a little removed from this realm. you have now entered into the promises of God of which you so rightly earn.

Sandy and family, So sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and dad. Jim was a pleasant man and had a smile for everyone. We had many nice conversations and laughs out side in the neighborhood. We have bought and moved to another home in Lincoln but we still go by your home and we will always think of him when we go by. We are sorry we were unable to go to his wake but your were all in our thoughts. Rest in peace Jim!

Letter To Heaven

JIM

God called your name so gently that only you could hear
No one heard the footsteps of the Angel drawing near...
Softly from the shadows, there came a gentle call, You closed your eyes and went to sleep... You quietly left us
all.

Today is full of memories of a Brother laid to rest and every single one of them is fulled with happiness

For you were someone special always such a joy to know and there was so much pain when it was time to let you go

That's why this special message is sent to heaven above for the angels to take care of you and give you

All MY LOVE
Dorothy

It has been one year since you left us, dad. I miss you more than anything & wish you were still here. Don't worry, Anthony will never forget you. We look at pictures daily of you & him. You would be so proud of Anthony, he's such a smart little boy! I just wish I can hear your voice again & I miss your hugs, calling me your little pumpkin & singing "you are my sunshine". Valentine's Day will always be a day to remember, it is your day dad! And don't worry, Anthony & I bought mom a Valentine's Day gift! She really wasn't expecting it. I love you more than anything and miss you so much. Please keep watching over us. I love you, your little pumpkin, Jessica.
