Jim was my friend even though I am a Red Sox fan. He was one the greatest people I have ever met. He had a heart of gold and loved his family very much. He helped so many people stay sober and we all loved him. God bless Jim now and forever.

Jim was a great character and friend. He will be greatly missed by all the people who loved him. He regaled us with the stories of his Naval career and his experiences on "The Diesel Boats." He loved his family deeply. He was one of the Greatest Generation and we will not see his kind again. So long, Jim.
