    Jim, I was sad to hear of your Fathers passing. May the peace of the Lord be with you and your family as you endure this difficult time. May you find solace in knowing that family and friends are here to support you during this time. Lora

    Diane, Jimmy, Katie, and family. I cannot express how deeply saddened I feel over losing Jim. I know you must be extremely saddened too, and I offer my love, prayers, and deepest condolences to you. Jim has been my great friend and AOH mentor for so many years. In recent years we drifted apart a little, but everytime I was with him, our eyes would light up and we'd get huge smiles on our face. The AOH changed my life, and Jim was the guy that put me on that path. I will be forever grateful to him for that. We also had our share of great times on golf trips with the Port Authority group, and other friends, and I'll never forget his hearty laugh, his big heart, and difficulty with the "driver"!! ........ I'll love him always. Jim Green

    Diane and Family, Please accept my prayer for Jim and all of you. I regret that I am not able to extend this to you in person but please know that our Irish faith brings a lasting bond with each other. May Jim have that never-ending peace that comes from your love for him and our Lord's wonderful loving eternal embrace. Fr. Jeremiah O'Shea, Chaplain AOH Div. 32 and County Deputy Chaplain.

    Diane, Jim & Bern, Kate & Kevin, You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers and this most difficult time. You treated us like family when we moved to Pittsburgh and we have such fond memories of your 4th of July celebrations at your home in Brentwood. We also enjoyed our golf outings at Edgewood CC with Mr. Flanigan, Jim and Bern. His love for the game was contagious and we enjoyed watching him skillfully play the course. We are thankful for the time we spent with Mr. Flanigan, and we hope that all the wonderful memories that you and your family have will soon begin to replace the heaviness you have in your hearts right now. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Bill and Denise Maher
