May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Jim was a great friend to my family for decades, and a great source of humor in more situations than I  can even remember right now. I thought of him many times during the Red Sox post season and always during political elections.  He was a wonderful friend and a terrific person.

Thanks for the fantastic conversations on sports, politics and just about everything. Great laughs lit up my work day many times in the cafe in Glenbeigh. Brilliant mind. Lots of love to Claire and all the family. Remarkable people. From Tony H, Tralee
