Julie, Jeff and Scott
Sorry to learn of our Cousin Jimmy having passed. My sister Connie let us know last week.
My Dad loved his nephew and was always very proud of him.
Every time I had a chance to see him he always had a smile, a kind word or a pat on the back. I’ve heard that “we’re all just walking each other home” and Jimmy was easy to be with.
Our best and warmest regards to all of you. Please know that we’ll be sending positive vibes your way.

Jeff, Scott Julie, & Families, Sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was a wonderful neighbor & a joy to visit with. Sorry we couldn’t attend the services because of Neil’s health at this time. God bless all of you!
Scott, I am sorry for your lost. Before I only know your father from your every Saturday’s “excuse”, now I can picture him as one of the advanced technology pioneer, a harder worker, a devout catholic, a caring father, and a glorious soldier, who will always be remembered. My deepest condolence and sympathy to the family.
Dear Martin family,I am deeply saddened by your loss. Even if I never met your dad, I heard of a lot of nice things about him from Scott. He was such a kind and funny person. May he rest in peace.With sincere condolences, Dandan

Jeff, Scott, and Julie, My thoughts and Prayers are with your family. I have fond memories of your dad always around at St Thomas whether at mass or a basketball game, even all through high school. Even as I got older and the few times I did attend St Thomas it was always nice to see him. What a dear man who was always kind to everyone. May God be with your family at this time….
We will never forget Jim. He was the Best Man at our wedding in 1954. The thing we will miss is his humor and love for the Chicago Bears football team. When he attended St Joseph’s College the Bears trained there. The last time we sat down and talked with Jim was in 1987. We took him to Mike Ditka’s restaurant in Chicago.
We can not attend the services, but will certainly have Jim and his family in our prayers.
Dear Martin family,So very sorry to learn of your dad’s passing. He was a loving man with the absolute best sense of humor! He was a good friend to Mom and Dad (Peggy and Fritz Heneghan) for many years along with your wonderful mother. May your memories help you through this time. God bless all of you,Candy (Heneghan ) CarrollNashville, TN
Dear Julie, Scott and Jeff – We are so very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I know he is happy to be back together with your Mom, but that is not much help for you and your family right now. I feel so blessed to have been part of your “Maple Ct family”, and you and your parents are in most of my growing-up memories. Your Dad’s laugh and sense of humor will always bring a smile to my face when I remember things we did together. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, I wish I was closer and able to come to give all of you a hug – but please know that I am with you during this hard time, if only in my heart. Love always, Pam (Bernotas) Ashenbremer My family, Rand, Meagan & Ian want me to pass along their sympathies as well.
