Jimmy was one of the kindest, happiest men you would ever want to know. He had a quick Irish wit and a ready smile. He will be a great addition to heaven.

RIP Uncle Jim, the most kindest man you will ever meet.  Glad you are reunited with Aunt Martha and all of your family, especially my Mother Grace and Father Joe up in Paradise.  May you all please continue to watch over us. RIP Unce Jim.

One of our many family dinners when Uncle Jim visited us on Long Island.

Uncle Jim always enjoyed our pools & BBQs during his summer visits.  Swimming with Joe.

Uncle Jim & his sister Jean.  They were very close.  I remember all his visits to our house when he lived in the Bronx. He would arrive with baked goods and Stromboli.  My mom & Uncle Jim would sit at the kitchen table drinking coffee & talking for hours as all of us would go in and out after chatting for a bit.

We will miss our big family gatherings as uncle Jim visited us.  We have great memories of fun times together. Uncle Jim shared great stories and through the years we learned so much about him.  He lived a very interesting life filled with many great experiences.  We learned how he studied in Italy as he attended university there.  He loved all his cruises with Aunt Martha.  We learned much from him about our family history.  He was so knowledgeable, so kind & had the best sense of humor.  He was such a special uncle & brother.

What fun we had celebrating his 90th birthday with a party and a casino cruise.  Cherished memories were made that week.  So grateful we had this time with him.  He was a wonderful uncle who appreciated our time together.

Uncle Jimmy, I know Aunt Martha and your family were there to greet you which brings joy and peace. Thank you for being part of fond memories in my life and Ryan’s. I remember bbq in the Bronx, the trip to Great Adventure. I also have memories of you taking Ryan alligator hunting, and playing with him at the beach Ryan’s first trip to Florida and of course we all went to Disney. 
Rest in peace
Love, Brigid and Ryan

Dearest Mr Maguire,

May I start with saying that you are the most kindest, loving man I've ever known and you have a great sense of humor. I have always felt lucky to have met you and be friends with you. I am so very sorry that I will not be able to attend your services tomorrow because of an illness. I always enjoyed my time spent with you no matter what it was that we were doing you are and will always be a dear wonderful friend of mine. I love you and always will.

Love Leisa

Jim and I had several holiday dinners together, both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
However., my favorite meal was a lunch at Square Grouper.  It has an all sand floor. We both took off our shoes and buried our feet in the sand. Square Grouper is right on the waters edge.  Kids were out paddle boarding. Kite surfing. Hang gliding, and more.  Jim and I just enjoyed sitting there watching the kids.  We could stay the whole afternoon.  We were sitting at a table under two palm trees on a perfect day in paradise.

Uncle Jimmy I will miss you. I know Aunt Martha was waiting for you. You have blessed my life in so many ways from me going to Hawthorn house where you, Aunt Martha and Aunt Claire would help me with my homework. Better yet you let us kids stay in the house and you would laugh at me going down the steps on my butt. We had so much fun in Disney (first time for you and Aunt Claire). Then you took Ryan alligator hunting in Aunt Martha golf cart. Thank you for blessing my family and life. You were so proud to be Irish so I will say to we meet again 🙏💔 love Stephanie
