Jim was a kind, soft, and religious soul. He was a good friend for 38 years. He cared for everyone and in particular those who struggled in life. A terrible loss for everyone and for myself.
Mr. Healey was a wonderful man with a big heart. My daughter worked for him after she graduated from high school and he took her under his wing, and mentored her through some tough times. I will forever be grateful for Mr. Healey. He was a fabulous lawyer, and a very kind man. Bless you Mr. Healey, with much love.
I have the pleasure to have him as a instructor in College, I could hear him talk for hours, the passion with what he touch every subject, traveling, pictures, scuba and most important to him, Faith!
He could see what was coming, when he wrote “When I was not my brothers keeper” he was not wrong it all!
Just today, when FB reminded me to wish him happy birthday, I went to his FB page an notice how long is been since he has posted anything… This sad though cross my mind, and I found myself in his obituary. My most sincere condolences to his family, he was a very humane human (the ones that are hard to find now days), a professional and a teacher that truly left an impression on anyone who meet him…
I will always remember you Mrs. Healey! May the perpetual light always shine for you :'(
