  1. First I would like to thank my sister in law Marlene for not calling me to let me know my Brother Jimmy passed away. Also, thanks for not mentioning he is survived by his sister Janet Whitney and his niece Kim Lee Bevacqua. There was one mistake in your Obituary, our Mother’s maiden name is Not Walker, it’s Iva Lowe.
    RIP Big Brother. Your in our prayers.

    • I was wondering why his Sister wasn’t mentioned. Regardless of the reasons why, Jims sisters or brother should be mentioned. Its called respect.
      My older brother just passed..I would be very hurt if I wasnt mentioned.
      Very sorry for your loss…your entire family.

  2. On behalf of the Bevacqua & Spinelli extended family we would like to extend our condolences to Marlene, Janet Whitney & Kim Lee. Jimmy was very good to my Mom & Dad….his aunt & uncle Joe & Flora. For which I am very grateful. So very sorry for your loss. RIP cousin.

  3. To Jim’s Family and closest friends there,
    I knew Jim and worked with him occasionally when I was on the MFD
    in the Seventies. He was an intelligent and interesting man, and he
    served the people of Meriden well. Sorry for your loss. Kind regards, Dale Reynolds, London, England
