Sadly, Jimmy passed away peacefully on 14 April. He was my uncle, and his twin brother Barney, my father. Jimmy was one of the good ones, and always brought happiness to those around him. Seamus, my family and I love the video, and we played the audio of it during the ceremony in the funeral home today. Thank you

So sad to hear the news of Jimmy's passing but so delighted that we were able to bring Seamus on board in our Through The Window project to pay tribute to Jimmy's great life. Our sincerest sympathies to you Pat and all the family

Pat Caffrey My condolences to you and yours upon the passing of your beloved Uncle Jimmy. I'm an American of Irish descent , and I hear clearly the cadences of speech and expressions used by my grandparents - some of which have passed over into my own. I am currently having one of my great great grandfathers researched professionally by a genealogy service of good repute. James O'Connor was a Leitrim man, and I want to know as much as I can about him.

Such a lovely piece. A reminder to “jump for every ball” when life resumes to some normality.

This is great and a wonderful production. I particularly liked the gaps in the slow music, very effective. Will be watching/ listening to more.
