Our sincerest sympathies on the passing of uncle Jim. He will be so missed by all his family in Ireland. Our thoughts are with you all. We would love to be with you all at this difficult time to personally offer our condolences but unfortunately cannot travel at the moment.
We will mostly miss your stories about your travels and your sporting achievements and how you ended up in New Haven with your sister Patty and meeting Patsy. We really enjoyed chatting with you late last year in your lovely home and hoped we could have done it again this year.
Farewell Jim until we meet again.
