My deepest sympathy to Jim's entire family. Jim and I were high school classmates and very good friends. We were part of a large group of close friends that remain that way today, almost 50 years later. We all loved Jimmie and were shocked to learn he had passed. Please let us know if any sort of memorial will be held in Maine. Jim was a special individual and a friend to all he met and as that, all friends are hurting as well. Nancy and Remy, you had a very special Dad and husband and my heart goes out to you both.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's family. I was a classmate of Jim and was looking forward to visiting with him next summer at our 50th. I enjoyed so much reconnecting at the last reunion. He was a great guy and I remember him fondly from our high school days. God give you strength.
