    Prayers for you, Cynthia, and your family. It was always a joy seeing and talking with Jim whether it be professionally at the hospital, socially at the old pool club in Mendon or just running into him in town. We always caught up quickly for gaps in time. I recall a time I pulled him into the pool not knowing he was wearing his Rolex and a time I biked by while Fred Vogt was working on your pool house… I think we all stopped what we were doing for over an hour. Jim was such a great friend even to those who saw him infrequently. He is dearly missed. God bless you.

    Bill and I really enjoyed our friendship that developed in the last few years. Jim’s dry wit, honest opinions and strong values are what we will remember most. He was impeccably dressed at all times! Nothing made him happier than showing us pictures of Patrick and Michael and the grandkids. He will be missed. Our deepest sympathy to you, Cindy. Hugs to you and the family
