Like Sarah and Hannah, both O’Brien boys will miss their Papa dearly. To Finn and Buck, Papa was nothing more than a big kid, always good for a toss in the pool or a pillow fight on the couch. Mark graduated from college and law school and lives in Tampa, Florida where he is an attorney. Mark married his wife Katie in 2009 and together they have two sons, Finn James (12) (named after his Papa) and Buckley (10). James’ second child was his son Mark of Tampa, Florida. It breaks our collective hearts that Papa will never hold his great granddaughter – and of course teach her how to play tricks on people at the mall. Doctor Hannah and Mitch are expecting a baby girl in May of this year. Sarah’s heart will forever have a missing piece. Sarah will miss her Ploppy, a name whose origin is a now mystery to everyone but Sarah. She married Kirk Narburgh in 1989 and together, with lots of love and support from Papa, they raised two, now adult, but always amazing, daughters Sarah (Corey) Burrows of Boston, Massachusetts, and Doctor Hannah (Mitch) Dunay of Hampstead, North Carolina.

In the future, should Sandy ever stumble and fall, and wonder whether she can get up again, she will think of him. Now Sandy will move forward alone, but we know her beloved Jimmy will always be with her in spirit. For over 63 years they stood side by side as partners, taking on the world one day at a time. From family to baseball, from easy times to the not so easy times, from a house full of noise to a house of relative silence, it was always Sandy and her beloved Jimmy. They went through life as best friends, as all the best marriages do. Sandy and Jimmy met as teenagers and married soon thereafter. Together they had two children and four grandchildren and have a great grandchild on the way. James – or Jim or Jimmy or Uncle Jimmy or Coach or Dad or Papa – is survived by his loving wife of over sixty years, Sandy.
