Jimmy will be missed.  He never missed a chance to stop his car and get out to pet my dog, Toby. He adored her and she gave it right back to him. A real animal lover...... I will miss him.

Such a sweet man. Always asked about my son who was serving in the navy and would proudly show me his old navy pictures…. He will be missed ❤️

Jim's constant smile and wit will be remembered always. With sincere sympathy to his family, Carol Repetto

It was a pleasure knowing this rabble rouser for over 30 years. Jimmy was funny and engaging, and kind hearted. 
Loved seeing  him and Michael Collins, they were two peas in a strange pod haha!

Jimmy loved jelly donuts and carrot cake, loved shooting the breeze in the store. It was a welcome sight when he walked in. We will miss him but we are glad to have known him.

God’s Garden
God looked around His garden and found an empty space. 
Then he looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. 
He placed His arms around you, and lifted you to rest. 
God’s garden must be beautiful for He only takes the best.  
He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. 
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyes and whispered “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, as part of us went with you, the day God called you home.  
If love would have saved you, you never would have died.  - Author unknown

Prayers for peace for Jim and all who loved him. 
Best regards,
Christy Donohue

Jim was a HUGE part of our lives for the last 9-10 years.  He was our Saturday morning breakfasts, our Super Bowl Sunday guest, our kitty sitter, our Oyster Festival attendee, our watch a Mets game over the phone friend, our impromptu dinner guest . . . he was our family!!  It wasn't until I started going through pictures yesterday that I realized just how much "belly rolling", "tears coming out of our eyes" laughter you gave us over the years.  Your presence was always a sheer joy, and I truly can’t imagine this world without you!!  You are going to be missed by so many.  We love you Jimmy 2xs!!!

Dear Bob, Kathy and Richard
With deepest sympathy on the loss of Jimmy. 
His laughter and smile would light up a room.
He will be missed.
Know that he was welcomed with open arms by your mother and father. 
May he rest in peace surrounded by heavenly Angels.
Love,
Louise and Ted

I didn’t know Jimmy well in fact he was a new friend I only knew him for a couple of years . I loved your twisted sense of humor. Best ride I ever had coming home from a commitment with the big Tim in the back of the car, he was lucky I didn’t throw him out on the way home. But we laughed our asses off. You will be missed

Jimmy was the definition of a HEART OF GOLD!
A good-hearted, funny guy who was always doing acts of service for others.  I'll miss you terribly!  See you up there, someday.  We can talk Trump!

We would like to send our condolences to Jimmy's family. He was the nicest man I have ever met. We will always remember him as a friend and a veteran brother. God bless and rest in peace my friend.

To the Beardsley family:
You lost a most wonderful member of your family, we all lost a dear friend, so funny, loving and caring!  He loved my brother Bob and was always there for him.  I can only imagine what their meeting at Heaven's Gate was like, Bob opened the gate for him and said  "come on in my Brother it's been awhile since I've seen you we have a lot of catching up to do" and they walked in together arm in arm.  Heaven will never be the same!  I will miss him at the Knaack gatherings, he was the life of the party all the time.  Where there was laughter there was Jimmy.  My dear friend have a wonderful time in your next life.  
Johanna Knaack-Cusick

Jimmy you were one of the sweetest, kindest  men I've ever met.  I'll miss stopping by with Seamus  for one of our visits. 
May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.....

Dennis, Heidi, and the kids

Rest in Peace Jimmy!  Will surely miss our morning chats at Flynn’s and your infectious smile.  Keep watch from above my friend.

I doubt there was a more important man to our family than you Mr. B.  We will NEVER forget what a TRUE friend and mentor you were to my father -never leaving his side, or ours during the worst times of his life and at the end.  I know he’s been waiting for you! 

We will miss everything about you but our loss is heaven’s gain.  Batten  down the hatches heaven…you just received a character! 

As you have shared your light with many, may God’s light shine on you.  You are loved.  

Chrissy, Mike and family

Strong, courageous , man of honor. You will never be forgotten, 
We will never forget you Jimmy , blessed to  have been in your life. 🙏
