Our heartfelt condolences for the passing of Jim. We are first cousins to Tootie and just saw the obit.while on the Funeral home’s website.
Dorothy, so sorry to hear about your dad. Just know that we are thinking about you and sending you our love, kisses and hugs. Wish we could be there for you.
Love, Jani, Jen, Dave and kids.
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim at the Savings Bonds office in Boston, but because I was from Chelsea, we also had a lot of mutual acquaintances. He was a true gentleman.
