Brad Littlefield wrote a sympathy message

“It was with great sadness that I learned today of Jim's passing. As a high school student of Mr. Connolly, he was a mentor who taught lessons in business and about life. As a graduate, Jim became a lifelong friend. For the past 40+ years, I called Jim around the Christmas holiday to say hello and to catch up. The conversations were long but always seemed to end too soon. He would tell me about his life and always talked about his beloved family. He was a great man who touched many hearts.”

“Dear Karyn, Stephen, Meghan, Bekah and family, We were devastated to learn of Jim's passing. We are so deeply sorry for your loss, and the loss of Jim that so many friends, students, and athletes will experience. There were few people who could light up a room with a smile like he could. Please be well and stay safe, and know that while we cannot be with you to grieve in these times, we do so very much. Love, Carol and Jeff Sherrin”
