Dear Delores and Family, what a pleasure to have known your Dear Jim and father. He was a man of great wit and he was a straight shooter. I saw for many years the interaction between him and Delores and his siblings … a very close family and the respect that they all have for one another is such a wonderful experience to be a small part of. They all look out and care for each other and that is what being a family is all about. Jim your legacy lives on …. You will be missed… Delores and Family our thoughts are with you Rest in Peace James Mulvenna Xo Tom Wendy and kids
