Terri and family,

I am sorry to read of Jim's death.  He was a vital part of St. Raphael's Parish.  I enjoyed seeing him at Mass and also at the Spaghetti Dinners.  Always greeting everyone with a smile and a little saying.
He will be missed.

Sincerely,
Theresa C. Jordan


Welcome to St.Raphael! Isn't it a great day?! 
Jim's happy, booming voice has lifted us all for so long as we arrived at church. He encouraged me to cantor, and consistently complimented me with  "Great job!" often offering Werther candies from his pocket. 
We'll surely miss him, but I know he has now joined the angels and saints, and is cheering us on with his positivity and humor.

Mr. Powell, was one of a kind. Always smiling, always a gem. He would regularly come in to get a milkshake- vanilla, not too thick. Never changed it up. Always would enjoy our conversations. A Better Scoop Ice Cream Shoppe will sure miss him. 

Prayers to you guys during this difficult time.

Dear Powell Family,
 When I think of Jim I see a can of Coke,  of course not diet in one hand  and a  generous bowl of ice cream. He always had a smile for everyone he encountered. 
He helped the ladies at the Lemon Bay Woman's Club for many occasions and his voice and dry humor will be missed. What a full life Jim led with a great partner, my dear friend Terri. There will be many friends at his funeral mass to honor his life and a large family , and friends to support Terri. May he finally be at peace.
 

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.  May God help you manage the huge void that is left in your lives.  Remembering the good times and memories will help bring joy into your hearts.
Jim always had a smile when he came into the club and a joke.


"Isn't it a great day?!" Rain or shine, Jim greeted parishioners with undeterred joy. He encouraged me to cantor, and always had generous compliments and a sense of humor to share with everyone. Since life is changed, not ended, I imagine him digging in his pockets and distributing Werther's candies to the angels.
Lord, bring comfort and peace to Jim's loved ones.


My late wife Kathy and I always looked forward to attending church because of Jim. He would be sitting at the door as we entered and always had a smile  and cheerful greeting for us.
He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. 
He and his dear family are in my prayers. 
God bless and may he  rest in peace.

Jim was a wonderful man who I viewed as another cousin and friend.  He also was my oldest child’s Godfather and always very good to her.  Jim always had joke or story to tell and we all enjoyed his great sense of fun!  The world has lost a good man but we know that he will continue to watch over his family and most especiallyTerri.  The whole Lorch family sends our condolences and love…..you are all in our thoughts and our prayers.❤️

Vicki - keeping you and your mom in prayers during this difficult time. Hope for healing and strength as the family faces the future, but know your dad is in a better place.
