Meehan family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jimmy’s passing. I will remember him as a great friend who was an integral part of my childhood. He was a very loving person, and he cared for many people and many causes. The past few days have made me reflect upon some of the great times shared at your house in Lancaster during my adolescence, and the memories bring me great joy. I am incredibly sorry for your loss, and I wish you all my condolences.

I knew Jimmy because he was often our server at Longhorn in Park City. He made an impression on us because he was always smiling, polite and gracious, and each time he brought our check he wrote “God bless” at the bottom. I cannot imagine your pain, but I hope you are surrounded by loving family and friends at this dark time. God bless you. Sincerely, Diana and Roger Wolf

My deepest sympathies to your whole family, I had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy for about a year and a half and worked with him for a year. I did meet you on a few occasions at your family dinners which Jimmy loved. He was so proud of his family and wanted to show the world who they were. The best hugger in the world, doesn’t seem adequate because his hugs could change my day, I will forever have a piece of my heart carved out just for his amazing spirit. God Bless you all as you try and cope with this tragedy, this world has lost such a special and caring human being and heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Rest in peace Jimmy, love you and miss you Fiona Hart and family
