To my friend Jimmy, I just want to thank you for your kindness and your friendship. We met when we were teenagers, two wild boys from different towns who met and instantly gravitated towards each other, we were so much alike in so many ways. My parents at the time were going through a bad divorce and you and your grandmother took me in to your small two bedroom apartment and made me feel at home and a part of your family, we shared a bedroom and always got along and had many good times. I thank u for your kindness and generosity my dear friend jimmy. I have never met anyone like u and I know I never will again. You were unique in your own special ways and you will be missed greatly. You will always be in my heart friend. Looking forward to the day we will unite again in heaven in God's loving presence, see u soon buddy.

I am so saddened to hear about Jimmy’s passing. Life sent us in different directions years ago and I’m just finding out about this now. I met Jimmy when we were in our late teens and working at Sears in Norwell, MA. He was an amazing guy who was so thoughtful and kind and meant so much to me. He always kept me laughing and smiling. I’m very fortunate to have had him in my life - even for that short time. Rest In Peace Jimmy. I’ve never forgotten you. Xo

What can I possibly say about Jim, I have never met such a happy person. Even when he was upset about something he was always quick with a joke. Jim will always remain in my heart as my best friend, and on of the best people that I have ever met.
It is amazing how many lives that he touched in the short time that he was here, there can be no better testament to a mans life than the legacy of friendships that he leaves behind. I hope Jim's family finds solace in the fact that Jim lived more in 40 years than most do in an entire lifetime. A piece of him will live on in the hearts and minds of countless people.
I find peace knowing that Jim had overcome so much recently and became a better person than he knew that he could. I was and still am so proud of him.
God Bless you brother and be at peace.

Jim,

I can't begin to say how grateful I am to have met you the way I did; It seems like yesterday when we were harassing each other for the color of our hockey sweaters that morning at the mail house. We quickly saw the like humor and quick banter in our conversations grow into a daily friendship that I looked forward to everyday I had to go to my 40 hour a week job. You made it bearable.

Soon our work relationship turned into actual friendship, seldom happening with people in the work place. We began hanging out in our yards, trading hats, keychains and other collectibles, frequenting local establishments, cooking out at neighbor's places and eventually going to see minor league baseball together, laughing, poking fun and getting to know each other along the way. It was always an exciting event when we got to spend time together, though it was cut far too short.

Sadly, my finances and family matters had taken a toll on my living situation and I had to leave my job and move out of the area in early June. I always did my best to keep in touch when my technology and schedule allowed it. I was fortunate enough to see you again in November and see your great Man Cave, the shed in Nat's back yard. You were so thrilled to show it off, explaining everything from what's on the walls to how you sweep the floor. It was an amazing site seeing you use a leaf blower indoors and calling it "cleaning."

That's a charming person I'm going to miss greatly. I can't express how thankful I am to have you in my life and how much of a pleasure it is to be your friend. I never met anyone as honest and genuine as you, Jim. You had no qualms telling people exactly what was on your mind and, for better or worse, handle the outcome accordingly. You are true.

Thank you so much for being my friend, Jim. I truly hope that you knew just how much it meant to me to be in your life because it meant a lot that you were in mine.

Be well.

Josh Horrocks, "Wash."
