Helen and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences. Jim was a great friend. Whether by email, at the NAFCSC conventions, when we went to Celtic Park together or when I was able to visit. He always thought of others first.
He will be missed greatly by his many friends across the world.
God Bless,
Ronnie

Dear Jimmy You’ll Never Walk Alone….deepest condolences to the family from all Jimmy’s friends at Johannesburg Celtic Supporters Club, South Africa….
Hello;
My sincere sadness for your having to say farewell to quite a nice fella. Having been retired these past eight and a half years, I’d drifted away from my working past, that gladly included occasionally sauntering into The Hall to Jim’s gregarious nature and hospitable manner, memories of which I’m sure you share in abundance; memories that’ll hopefully comfort you whenever summoned. May God and life bless all of you.
In sympathy,
Bob Foley

Words cannot express the way I feel about Jim, He was one of the Bravest Men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am also honoured to have known him and be a friend. God Bless you Jim, There won’t be any waiting in a line up for you to get into Heaven. You will be driving in on a Limo.
Your big Carolina

Remembering your lovely laugh at our girl’s soccer games.
It was so sad to read of Jim’s passing. I have so many good memories of the many parties and meetings where Jim was present. His wonderful sense of humour, even when the joke was on himself, his warm greetings every time we met, his unfailing loyalty to the things he believed in. A truly inspiring man.
I was so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We always enjoyed chatting with him at coffee after Mass at St. Pat’s. We send all of you our support and our prayers.
