My dad was one of the few people who could make me laugh uncontrollably. I loved his sense of humor. I’ll always remember him introducing me to Abbott and Castello’s “Whos on first, whats on second” bit. I remember going fishing with him when I was younger. I loved it. It wasn’t about chasing fish, it was about being with him and enjoying nature. Some things will always make me think of him; Fenway park, crunch ice cream bars, WAAF, fishing and weird movies, just to name a few.
Jim was my cousin and he was named James after my Dad. I have many fond memories of him from our childhood and we remained in contact until our years of raising our families. He had a great smile and a hearty laugh. My condolences to Jim jr and Julie. RIP Jimmy my beloved cousin.
Felt like i had to leave a comment in here as i knew Jim for a few years and when we did run into each other we would talked for a few. I mostly talked with him at family gatherings that his son was having. Last one i went over for i believe was the 4th of July. Rip Jim!
