I am going to miss my brother Jim and will always treasure his visits to my house. Thank you to all his friends who rode bikes with him and played cards at his apartment. If I had one more moment with him I would hug him and tell him how much I love him.
Jim, you and I knew each other for over 30 years.
I am so going to miss you my friend, our talks at my shop, just b.s.ing, our bike ride out to Old Saybrook for lunch. You and I talking on the phone for hours and hours back in the day. Emergency Interruptions…LOL! The letters you wrote while in the Army…your old Dodge and your dog Krueger. So many happy memories. I would have talked longer with you last month if had I only known it would be the last time. My condolences to your family. Your were a great guy and a great friend. I will miss you dearly.
Dear Eva, Brittney, Justine and Alexis,
I am so very sorry I was unable to attend Jim’s services. I truly loved Jim. Whenever I would see him he would ALWAYS greet me with a smile and a hug. I will miss that and all the laughs we shared. He loved you all so much and absolutely adored his granddaughters. Just know that there is another Angel watching over all of you. If there is anything I can do, anything at all, for any of you, please do not hesitate to call on me. Keeping everyone in all my thoughts and prayers ALWAYS 💟☮️
Goodbye Jim. Thanks for all the great stories from Troop 604 and being a friend back in the bad old days. You have left a hole in our hearts.
