Jim’s legacy is his family!. He was the oldest son of eight children who was raised to embrace his faith and family with love,understanding and compassion. He had a sense of humor unmatched. He was an avid sports fan and great coach and mentor to many over the years. He always made whoever he met, feel important as he was truly interested in who they were. He was a man that faced some demons but conquered them and was always there to help someone who could benefit from his experience. He unconditionally loved his 3 children,Jim,John and Kathleen and was so proud of them and their families. His grandchildren were the cakes he couldn’t get enough of. He truly found something extraordinary in each of them. His grandsons ,John Michael,Tim,Patrick and his granddaughters,Caitlin,Colleen,Christine{Been},Kelsey Bridget,Moira Susan and his Bridget were what completed his life. He loved his daughter-in-laws,Marianne and Martha and his Saturday Man,Tim O’Hanlon. He was a very wealthy man,children,grandchildren,nieces and nephews and friends who loved him. I am most grateful to say he was my brother and best friend!
