Dear Helen and family. I was very sad to hear about Jim’s passing. I have very found memories of him coaching me in little league and our undefeated season in youth league basketball. Every time I would get back to Bradford and would see him we always talked about those wonder years. I hope that you can take comfort in the fact that he made a lasting impression on so many of us who had the pleasure of having him coach us in youth sports in Bradford.

Dear cousin Helen and Family, please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. Sadly, I won’t be able to attend the services as I am in Florida. How symbolic that Jim passed on the anniversary of your mothers’ death. Truly a sign that she, Nanny, and especially your father, will welcome him home to eternal life. I will always remember him for his red hair and strong attachment to our High Street home. I am sure you and Jimbo will take comfort in the many treasures Jim had from there. You almost made it to 60 years of marital bliss. I will always remember your anniversary and have recently located my bridesmaids dress to remember that special day. How lucky he did not die alone. Please reach out to me to help you through this difficult time to repay you for the exact same kindness that you extended to me upon the loss of my mother. Sincerely, Nancy A. Fire Executrix Christine A. Fire
