Dad. I will miss you terribly. I already do. I miss so many things about you already- your phone calls, your jokes, your telling me the funny things my kids said that day, your laughs, your smile, your “Hey Bo” greeting. I still feel like this is surreal.. I’m so grateful for all the fun times we had and that you had 4.5 years with my babies. I know you died a very happy man and for that, I have peace. I love you, Daddy. Heather Bo

Thank you for the true kindness and warmth you showed me when I first arrived to America. I’ll never forget being made to feel so at home and around family so quickly. A genuine man who will truly be missed by all and never forgotten YNWA

The greatest - bar none. I will miss everything about you Jim. You were a real role model for me and everyone that met you. It won't be the same without you. Loved and respected by all, you were the heart and soul of the club you founded and worked so hard at. New York Celtic Supporters Club will always be associated with you Jim. Sleep well my dearest friend. Brian McIntyre

Jim was a wonderful man. Gracious, kind, thoughtful and personable. He was a good friend and always asked about family members who weren’t present at whatever game I attended. Sitting next to Jim cheering on Celtic was a privilege and a good laugh. He will be sorely missed and forever remembered. I’ll miss shaking his hand and hearing his voice. Until we meet again my friend. Hail, Hail Hugh

Jim was a most welcoming and kindhearted person. Many mornings, Jim picked me up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (along with Brian) to head to the Parlour to watch Celtic. I looked forward to those weekends...catching up with Jim in the car and at the pub made the games all the more fun. Even after moving to Florida, Jim kept in touch often and would regularly ask about our family and our well-being. A gentleman through and through. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of meeting him.

Jim was the founder and the heart and soul of the New York Celtic Supporters Club. Always ready with a welcome, a smile, a joke, a song. I will miss the joy he brought to the club as well as his friendship. Sincere condolences to the McGinn's. Jim, You'll Never Walk Alone, RIP
