To Karen & family
I was sorry to hear of Jims passing. I did not realize that we were exactly the same age. I also started my career in the car dealership parts department and Jim spent many years at that as well.
I always found him a real nice guy and know that he will be missed.

Thinking of you Aunt Karen. We’re coming home early to be with you all. We have some great memories of Uncle Jim. And you were always there too. Boat cruises on Lake Kashagawigaog with our ‘travelers’, lively conversations around the big table and the occasional trip to Port Albert. He’ll be sorely missed and the two of you together as a couple will be missed too. We loved to witness the friendly jostling between the two of you as you defended your rival teams. You are such a good sport to post the Bruins flag with Jim’s photo! Lots of love, Carolyn and Marty
