I have been posting in this forum for a number of years.

In a few of those posting I mentioned an obituary from a woman who lived in Chicopee Massachusetts that told of how Jim Reeves music impacted her life.

I could never find the obituary again, to establish its existence.

My wife checks obituaries faithfully, and discovered one of a former teacher of ours, and City Councilor, who died recently.

His obituary also mentions his love for the music of Jim Reeves.

The obit can be found at Masslive Thomas J. Kennedy (2025) Holyoke MA or at the Barry J. Farrell Funeral Home.
