I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I remember his kindness and smile from high school. I also had the pleasure of having Mikaela in my art class at BHS. My sympathies and prayers go out to the family.

I never met you personally, but that doesn’t prevent me from knowing you were a wonderful man, husband, and father. The outpouring of love by your family is a testament to the man.
My heart and prayers go out to those that knew and loved you.
There is a party going on in Heaven celebrating your arrival, may knowing that bring your loved ones peace and comfort.
My sincerest sympathy to Jim’s wife and children. May they treasure his memory in their hearts.

I’m so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I worked with him at Axcelis for many years. He was always a super nice guy, always upbeat and cracking jokes and making me laugh. I haven’t seen him for years, but I’m sure he never changed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace in a better place.
God Bless,

I am still in shock over your loss. You are and always will remain in our hearts. I will be reaching for your strength and guidance to help me with the children. I know that they were your pride and joy. I promise to take good care of them and to watch over your Mom. We are proud of you! You were a good man, husband, son, and father. Rest easy, my angel! I will always love you!
We loved going to the beach with Jimmy and the Beverly Carroll’s every summer! Our family trip to Hartwood when the kids were little, cookouts on your Deck and the porch at 728 Cabot. Our favorite memory is of Jimmy crashing part of our Honeymoon and hanging out just the three of us..We solved all the worlds problem. John and Jim always loved talking sports and would call each other during and after various games to compare notes. Our hearts are heavy for the whole Carroll family and the loss we are all feeling and trying to deal with. Know that while we are not right there with you all we are not far away. xoxo
Awesome guy! Worked with him at Axcelis, Had a fun doing a machine install overseas with him. Played pick up hockey with him..Great hockey player.
