Kathleen and Steven - I'm so sad. Jim and I had so many laughs crewing on Sunday mornings! He was down to visit me a couple years ago and we had a great time. I'm sorry I will not be able to make the services. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Marie Malloy

I've only talked to Jim a few times, but his daughter was in and out of my house alot growing up. We were neighbors and our daughters shared a long lasting friendship. Thoughts and prayers with you Kathy and your family.
