Sincerest condolences from the extended Lynch "Mob" of Normandy Beach. Fondly recall the 'good old days' with Jim on the tennis courts, and on the bay.

have great memories - New Year's eve at the Lincon Center, the Masters, the Preakness, jazz concerts, and more. As we all know, Jim liked to affect a Scottish brogue. We survived that and bag pipe tapes on our UK trip, remaining friends.
Jim was on his high school golf team. Unfortunately his skills went downhill after that. Over the years we played on some unusual courses not on the PGA tour. I was a witness to Jim's hole in one on the 87 yard hole at the Summit municipal course. But his great skill was his ability to string cuss words together. It was an art form.
He was a loving family man devoted to Maryanne and the children. He worried about the kids - but they turned out ok. He got great pleasure watching the grand kids grow.
Music. Jim's great gift to me is jazz. We became friends during the golden age of jazz. All that I know and appreciate about it I owe to Jim. There are so many jazz standards that I hear at any time or place that I don't think of Jim.
So ours was a unique friendship. As it turned out, we were kindred spirits. Over the years, all it took was a word, phrase, or a look and we had instant communication that usually generated a laugh. He leaves us with great memories. For some time and in the days ahead I will think of Jim and smile.
