I will always remember Jim and his great sense of humor from the days of our childhood in Tommy Moore. He was a good and devoted friend to my dad. They can once again laugh together.

Your father and my father had alot in common. They were the best of friends. Now that they are together again, I am sure that they will continue that friendship.
Your father will be in our thoughts and prayers.

TC, I am going to miss your dad very much ..his witty Irish humor! A real life legend of our times - a hero - and a man who was the best you could ask for as a dad and granda. Thinking and praying for you all to be strong, knowing that Jim will still keep a strict eye on you all and be there for you in your prayers. Love Miriam
