We moved to New Bedford in 1938 when I was four. Jimmy lived diagonally across the street. We became best friends. He was such a nice person.I wish to express my deepest sympathy.Sincerely,Ann Marie Murphy Ladetto##imported-begin##Ann Marie Ladetto##imported-end##
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. My sincerest condolences to Rosemarie and the children.I first met Jim in 1960 shortly after he arrived in Hawaii .We were both newly married and in the midst of starting our families and new careers. We kept in close contact during the 60’s and 70’s but in recent years, as our lives changed, our paths only crossed in chance meetings in Kailua stores.Jim was one of the most unique people that I have ever known. While he lived the usual life of a staid family man he also had a fiercely independent quality---a true example of a “man who marches to his own drummerâ€Â. His leaving a successful career as a stockbroker to start a wallpaper and carpet business with absolutely no experience in the field or his solo travels to Europe are just two examples.However, to me his most endearing quality was his always present dry sense of humor. I will fondly remember him with that sly grin and soft chuckle that usually accompanied one of his remarks.Jim was a good friend who enriched the lives of all those around him. It was a privilege to have known him. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Bill Beaulieu##imported-end##

James was such an erudite gentleman. As a member of our Spanish group he was a genial host always ready to share his home to our group. We will all miss him and mourn his loss.##imported-begin##Karen Edwards##imported-end##
Dear Rosemarie and Family,Nancy and I send our deepest sympathy to you on the passing of our dear friend Jim. We last visited with him five years ago during a trip to Hawaii. He loved Hawaii but at the same time retained a special place in his heart for New Bedford.Jim and I first met in the fall of 1954 when we became roommates at Fordham. I miss my dear friend and thank God that he is now at peace following his lengthy illness.Sincerely,Bob PhillipsWethersfield,CT##imported-begin##Bob Phillips##imported-end##
To the Considines:I was so sorry to hear of Jim's illness and passing. My father had always professed such a great respect for Jim's sense of humor and witty mind. My dad cherished their stream of bright and goofy back-and-forth emails and phone calls, and I really enjoyed several of my own over the years, too.I know Jim is greatly loved by many and will be greatly missed. I hope that he is in a better place -- even better than Hawaii.Love and light to you all.Meredith Phillips##imported-begin##Meredith Phillips##imported-end##
