I knew Jamie since he was in the 6th grade at Andover Elementary School in New Hampshire and have treasured his friendship over the past 30 years. I last saw him in person three years ago when he came to visit our family in Andover, where this photo was taken, and will always remember him with this bright smile. I’d like to personally leave a story of the last time I saw Jamie, which was in my dream only 2 nights ago…I was flying through the air on these big porcelain plates and crashed couple of times and scared shitless. It was raining and I was trying to find my way home, bawling my eyes out and Jamie came out of nowhere, put his suit jacket over me, took my hand and led me out of a dark street. Jamie was still strong, confident and gave me his bright blue eyed smile before walking away after he saved me from the dark. I only learned of his passing yesterday and I truly believe it was his way of saying goodbye to me. Jamie, my dear friend, I wish you peaceful rest and know that there are many who are celebrating your life. You will forever live in the memories of those of us you’ve brought joy to!
