I met Jim in 1st grade when I stole his coat. That was the start of a great friendship which I could never forget. I spent more nights at his house during the summer nights that I did at my parents house. Mrs. Coghlan was like a mother to me. I was always included in any family function that I wanted. I don't want to get maudlin. I just wish for you all to try to remember the fun times and the love you shared. I feel blessed having been part of his life. His love meant the world to me. He was never (at least when I was hanging with him)one to get all lovey dovey and I love you man but you could tell when he loved you and I always felt that with Jim. Please accept my condolances and love in this time of sorrow. Love always Bob Kilbride
Going way back to the Bartram Village days I'll always remember how cool cousin Jimmy was. He used to have some mercury and taught us how to play with it(without touching it, Mom). When we were told to get outside to play (no more mercury, Jimmy!), he'd take us down to the railroad tracks! FUN!
