To Jim’s family,
As costume director at the Pageant of the Masters, I had the pleasure of working with Jim each summer that he was in the cast. He was always a kind person and a welcome addition to the show. He will be missed.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of you in your time of loss.

Dearest Family of Jimmy,
I grew up in Cambridge and attended grammer school and college with Jimmy.
I join with so many others who knew Jimmy in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his indeed was a life well-lived.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
In Sympathy,
Melinda

I have so many good things to say about my nephew Jimmy, don’t know where to begin, When he was born Barbara Jean was 8 months old and they were inseperable. My sister Doris and brother in law lived in Somerville and I lived downstairs.
Then I had Alan they were buddies all their lives and were in each others wedding as best man.
I will never forget the day Doris could not find him we put him and Barbara in the yard Jimmy was in the playpen we looked out and there was no Jimmy Doris was running down the street looking for him and all of a sudden we found him he lifted up the bottom of the play pen and crawled under it and was hiding there, He had the biggest grin on his face when he came out and I will always remember that. He was a great kid and very special to me and a great son and husband. I will surely miss him and he will always be in my heart. Doris, Charlie and Stephanie may God be with you and may Jimmy rest in peace. Love you all Aunt Roseann
