To the Lavoie family. I was a boy scout when Jim was scoutmaster in the sixties. Troop was so big we were divided in Troops A & B. Many fond memories of summer camp at Woronoco and the Weekend overnights at Alden ST. Jim will be missed by more people than most of us know. Rest in Peace
Maggie my whole family of 5 kids and grandkids will miss Jim very much. He was a very kind man and so good to them when they came over to visit. He belongs to the ages now for all to remember.
Dear Moe and family, What an extraordinary legacy your Dad holds for so many of us who had the privilege to know him during our formative years.
