He is a World War II Veteran, & he was the recipient of the Purple Heart & the Good Conduct Medal. After the war, he returned home & married Agnes M. (Dillon). They enjoyed a “love story” romance & life together, for 64 years, ending with her death in June of 2011. The couple were world travelers & often took along their nieces & nephews on extended trips.

Jim & Agnes were always there with an unusually extraordinary gift to help keep the “fires burning.” In Revere, as the years have rolled by, the beneficence of many an old Revere family were hallmark to the goodness, kindness & often, anonymous generosity these folks were made of. May they all enjoy the special reward they worked & lived for, in a share of the “eternal life.” Amen and Amen and Alleluia!
