He was such a lovely man, and so willing to help if he could. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
He was so good to Mam & Dad, and especially to Mam in her last years. She was so appreciative of both of you.

Jim was our legal advisor for many years and was always such a pleasure to deal with.
He was a true gentleman with a great sense of humour and Im sure he will be very much missed.

Dear Micheline we were so sorry to hear of Jim‘s death – only heard the news yesterday morning. He was a gentleman and a great colleague and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our sincere condolences to you and all the O’Higgins family. May he rest in peace.

We were so fortunate to have Jim as a colleague on the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church, where he served with such distinction for many years. His wise counsel, good humour, and occasional sense of mischief were underpinned by such integrity and humanity. And he was a Limerick man.
Our sympathies go out to his family and friends.
On behalf of all in the NBSCCCI, Maynooth

We are so sorry, Micheline, to hear of the death of your deservedly beloved Jim. He was such an impressive man, who led an exemplary life.
We will remember to pray for the happy repose of his soul, and that you and the family may find some consolation at this extremely difficult time.

Micheline ,Catherine and Niall , deepest and sincere sympathy to you on Jim’s passing. We made his acquaintance only recently and what a wonderful man he was and we were privileged to have spent time with him and Micheline over the summer . Jim was engaging and interesting in every way. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Sincerest condolences and sympathy to Michelene, Niall and Catherine.
Jim’s dying has gouged out a big hollow as he was the epitome of generosity, kindness, thoughtfulness, goodness and charity. Not just talking but by doing and achieving.
His own poem on the back of the memorial leaflet and Niall’s words at the funeral echoing the generational motivation anddirection of the OHiggins family says it all.
“To understand and feel for others no longer self, sense the glow of sharing kindnesses.”
In the over half a century I have known Jim, and even longer Micheline, I’ve only seen kindness and thoughtfulness for others which leaves the rest of us mortals feeling pretty inadequate.
His quiet sharp brain with a joy and willingness to enjoy a quirky laugh with humour ….without a barb left one feeling, to quote “The richer for having spent time in his company.”
He will be long missed but well remembered.
May his generous soul rest in peace
Fondest love,
Cyril and Jill Forbes.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad Niall and condolences to Jim's extended family and friends on their loss.

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a wonderful mentor and always had great advice. I feel very fortunate to have worked with him. My heartfelt condolences to his family and to all who were lucky enough to know him.

We were so sad to hear this news, and it was such a shock after we'd seen Jim on such good form in France so recently. He was such a joy to be with, always warm and generous. We have fond memories of his poetry recitations in Pézenas. We send all our love and condolences to Micheline and the rest of the family.

Sincere condolences to Michelins, Niall, Catherine and all the extended family at the loss of a truly wonderful man. I joined his funeral mass from my home in Provence on a beautiful October day and I have been enriched at listening to the generosity, kindness, brilliance and love that Jim showered on everyone who came into contact with him throughout his life, especially his family. What a legacy. May the pain of his passing be replaced by the joy of a wonderful soul who is still with you albeit out of sight.
Rest in peace Jim🙏💐

Dearest Micheline, Niall and Catherine, we were so saddened to hear about Jim's passing, so many fantastic memories since we were kids,not to mention the hundreds of dinner parties that Frank, Gemma, Mich and Jim and all the gang hosted in an almost continuous manner. Much craic was apparently had , I don't think any of the gang ever arrived home at the time we were told to expect them lol but that was the craic of the 80's. Jim was always such a gent, always smiling and I loved the chats which were always forthcominig. He will be a huge loss for you all, i have such fond memories of himself and Dad roaring with laughter over a glass of vino or two. Much love and our sincerest condolences . May Jim rest in peace.
