I will alway remember Mr. Lovasco as my best friends cool Dad. Always wearing his jean jacket (so cool to the 12 year old me). Taking his family to Disney World every year for fun filled vacations that I heard all about. He was a special guy who walked to the beat of his own drum and was proud to do so. He was a one of a kind guy who showed love in his words and actions on a daily basis. I will miss getting a hello hug from him on my visits to Topsfield. May he Rest in Peace, No longer in pain. He will be sorely missed. My love to the Lovasco, Mini and Bennett families. I am holding you all in my heart at this difficult time.

Still devastated from your sudden passing James. For the little time that I got to know you while dating your granddaughter, I can tell you cared about your family being there for them. You left them here with shattered hearts and sorrow and they all miss you dearly.
It’s a true shame that I will never get to shake your hand again.
Rest in absolute peace James, till we meet again.
