I am so very sorry to read of Jim’s passing. We worked together in East China and kept up through social media after he move to Anchor Bay. We shared our Irish heritage; something he was so proud of being! Life gets so busy and I just realized today…wait, Jim hasn’t sent me any posts. I then looked into that a little more and realized he was in heaven. I am keeping his lovely wife and beautiful children in my prayers along with all who love him.
Jim was always so much fun to talk to, as we both have relatives in Upstate NY, enjoy Irish heritage, and he LOVED to talk about his wife and kids - which, as a teacher and mother, I enjoyed hearing about! He was, of course, ever willing and helpful with technology questions and hurdles.
God blessed Anchor Bay School District with Jim. He was always had a smiling face and pleasant greetings to everyone he encountered. He worked hard to fix any technology issues that I had. No problem ever seemed too difficult. I always enjoyed seeing him in the building and listening to his heart warming stories about his family. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family.
I am so sorry to hear the loss of Jim. We were just texting not to long ago - he would always ask “how is Big Bry”. We shared a love for Caribou coffee! Jim always had nice things to say and always treated my husband and I so nicely. I am sending prayers to his family!
I'm sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was very kind and helpful when he would come around to support Anchor Bay teachers with technology needs. He was always in a good mood and I appreciated his patience and willingness to help with any computer problem. Jim was truly a gem in the Anchor Bay tech department. Sending prayers of peace and comfort to his family.

Jim has raised a beautiful, kind and compassionate daughter in Maeve. It is clear that he was a loving and funny father. Maeve smiles at the thought of Jim. He has done well! Maeve will surely pass on all the love she was given.

Jim's passion for technology as well as the good times sharing family stories over a cup of coffee will be missed. He was influential in getting our E-sports program off the ground to eventual blossoming. He loved March Madness and truly loved his Orange men. My thoughts and prayers are to the family. Jim will be missed.
