My sincerest condolences to you Rose and your family’s loss at this especially difficult & unprecedented time in our lives. It is many years since I crossed paths with Jim: But it is with fond memories that I remember him as a very young cousin at family gatherings & later as a schoolmate in our higher grades.. He was humble & unassuming with quiet purpose and always a true gentlemen.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
