Sometimes you meet someone that creates such a difference in your life that it is so hard just to express your thoughts when they have passed. Jim was so kind and so generous. He taught me the importance of giving opportunity and growth to others.
It was so great to work with Jim all my many years at McCausey Lumber Co.
I will be forever grateful. The world just feels empty without him.
Our deepest condolences to Ann and the Gilleran Family. May all your memories support you in this difficult time.
Eternal rest grant unto Jim, O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine on him.
Jim, may you forever be at peace.

Mike, your dad was a special man, and a wonderful employer. My dad loved working for your family, he spoke often of your dad and grandfather, he thought the world of them. I will be praying for you and your entire family. May God fill your hearts and minds with precious memories as you gather to celebrate your dad life.

Dear Aunt Ann, Mike, Michele, Renee and family,

Uncle Jim was a great guy! I remember a sincere smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He filled the room with warmth and kindness. He always seemed calm, cool and collected, not a mean bone in his body. Great memories of a wonderful man, uncle, husband, father and friend. The world has lost a good man, he truly made a difference. Rest In Peace Uncle Jim🙏🏻💗
Laurie
