    To all Jim"s family and friends we send our sincere condolences to you.. Though we've never met your Jim,but reading about him gave as a glimpse of who this fellow was here on earth.It appears we missed out in meeting quite a character who was also a Christian. Nothing better than that! Our prayers are with you in your time of loss.

See you in the new Jerusalem...Love from Leo

    Uncle Jimmy, Even though we never had a chance to really get to know each other, I felt that I had known you forever. Dad always talked about all the fun times you all had together and just hearing those stories brought you closer to my heart! I'm sad we didn't have a chance to get closer in this life but the reunion in Heaven will be super awesome! I can't wait. Help Grandpa water his garden while you wait for us all 🙂 You will be greatly missed, Love, Amy

    Jim was my friend, and mentor. Among the many things he has taught me over the years, one particular lesson sticks out in my mind. He would tell me, "Be a person that "you" would want to spend time with". He was, and I miss him. The world has lost a good man.

    Jim it saddens my heart to see your picture and obituary here, Jim we had some awesome times and made many memories together. You will never be forgotten. Although were are cousins I always thought of you as a brother. Jim taught me to shoot pool. The summer he got out of the navy we spent everyday together and well into the night. lots of laughs and a lifetime of memories. Love you Jim and will miss you......But I know we will meet again in Heaven...So long Pal....You Did good.

    my uncle jim, in many ways he was a second father to me and my siblings every trip he came home from sea he made it a point to visit me. i was always treated as the weak baby by many uncles and aunts because of my heart condition, but never did my uncle jim let me think it was a sign of weakness he always told me i would grow to be strong and healthy. i often saw more of my uncle jim than i did my own father and he helped mold me into the man i am today. As i get older memories of my child hood seem to fade, but ill never forget the love you bestowed upon me the things you taught me, the weekly trips to the barber shop. the hot coco you and auntie judy would make for me after a long cold day outside. But most of all i will never forget the looks on me/my siblings and yours face, and ill never forget the reaction we always had on your visit home. Every day gets harder knowing you wont be coming to visit me anymore, knowing you didnt get to meet my daughter. But ill always love you for i am apart of you through blood and heart and i know there is a piece of you in my daughter and you will always look over us.

    To the McGeoghegan Family, I had the privileged of meeting you and sat beside you in church one day as Sean proudly introduced me to his family. Although I had not had a chance to know you, I have come to know you through your son Sean. Like an arrow in the hand of a warrior are your children, and if there is a measurement of life, one may be what we have left behind to change this world. Your son Sean is a mighty arrow, and has been directed into the target of our hearts and families, with true accuracy that can only come from God. I am honored to know your family. May the peace of God comfort your family.
