Amy,
I’m so sorry to hear about Jim. We had many good laughs together during our time at Rice and afterwards. He was always very protective and supportive of me, and he spoke of you many times.
It’s been a few years since Jim and I chatted, but his memories are as strong as ever, and these will continue to live on.
Take care.

Sincere condolences to Jim’s family. I’m just an EH co-worker, but have had some great conversations with Jim.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Amy: my most sincere condolences to you at thiis horrible time. I was blessed to know and love Jimmy. He saw humour in everything and if it wasn’t funny he made it funny. His impersonations, nicknames and sayings live on… There’s a whole generation of us in and from St. John’s who can speak in Jimmyisms. He was such an intelligent observer. All encounters with him were full of laughter. He made our lives better.. My heart goes out to you, your family and his tight circle of buddies.
I remember Jim vividly from his skateboarding days with that great floof of hair and big smile. At Brother Rice he was never without a joke or funny story. He loved to make people laugh. I am saddened to hear of his passing. His friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My fondest memories of Jimmy are as co-staff at Junctions. He made us feel safe. and cared for. He had such a connection with the people who worked there – we were lucky to know him. My heart felt condolences to his family.

Jimmy was one of a kind.
Brought a smile to my face when nobody else could.
I’m so sorry for your loss Amy.
From one of his favorites, Veil of Isis:
Somewhere seven ships collide,
Seven sailors lose their lives,
But their voyage continues on the other side.
The lake of Innisfree
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core
William B Yeats
