We weren't ready to see him go but it was not ours to decide. We will forever cherish the time we had and the memories we made…
James Edward Connolly, "Dr. Jim", devoted husband, father, friend and healer to so many passed away peacefully December 4, 2020.

He was proceeded in death by his parents Marybelle and James Shields Connolly.
Jim will forever be in our hearts and minds telling a story, offering advice or seeking out something new to learn. He may not have learned to play the guitar or keyboard, but he certainly taught all who knew him how to care for others. As a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and Massage Therapist, Jim spent countless hours caring for his patients, friends and family. He devoted his life to them, most especially his wife Muriel. His devotion to her was like none other.
