My prayers are with you all in this time of loss, sadness and grieving.
Wish I could be there with you.
Much love, hugs, and Kleenex.
I would dearly love to be at the service as you celebrate John’s life. Unfortunately, dialysis makes it difficult. Know that I will be with you in spirit.
I’m so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. I have so many wonderful, fun and enjoyable memories of Jimmy. On Sunday evenings his dad would play guitar and we would all sing along with him: He was ring bearer in my wedding. Cousin to my husband Edward Hubbs. They were very close in Growing up and on into adulthood. I’m sure Jimmy was met by my husband, his brother John and all his family and loved ones when entering heaven gates. I will have a mass said for Jimmy at my church in West Virginia.
love you uncle Jimmy well miss you
Very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We worked CSOSS together for many years. He was a valued member of the team and my friend. He will be missed.
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of Jim. He was passionate in his work, proud of the work he did. I will miss his updates for movies or conversations of all things Halloween. He will be missed.
John was always a nice guy and always had a smile when I would see him. We used to be in the SCA together and taught me a lot about fencing. His family is a testament to his legacy, and he had a great life that was cut too short.
I simply have no words. Good neighbor, good friend. My heart is just broken for Sue and family. Rest easy, my friend…
John was an amazing human being… his loss is an incalculable loss to the world…to the universe even.
My heart goes out to any and all who knew and love him.
