I had the pleasure of working for Jim for 12 plus years as Vice President or McLaughlin & Co. How I loved the Oyster Roasts he had at his house. JoJo taught me how to eat those things. 2 of the best memories I had with Jim was the Thanksgiving Dinner he and JoJo had invited me to at their house early in my career with him and the trip we had all won to Bermuda put on by one of the companies we represented. The food and liquid seemed never ending. I will never forget Jim always singing Ave Maria every chance he got. What a voice. You both are now where you definitely deserve. In Gods' hands and you Jim, trying to out sing the angels. God Bless Both of you and my condolences and prayers to all the children whom I got to know.

To My dear Savannah McLaughlin cousins and family, I am sending my deepest condolences on the loss of both Jim and JoJo. Words cannot exoress the sorrow I felt when I heard the news at church at Sacred Heart. I know your hearts are breaking. I am praying for the peace and love that only God can give for all of you. May He hold you all tightly in His hand so you can feel His comfort. I am one of the Charleston McLaughlins that got to know Jim and JoJo through my father John Francis McLaughlin Sr (Dr Mac). They would always attend our family reunions and kept us in the loop about our Savannah family. When I got married and moved to Savannah in 1978 we bought our first home on 50th street one block away from Jim and JoJo. Their door was always open to us. We would see them at Blessed Sacrament and later while attending Sacred Heart. I know they will have a wonderful legacy of love, friendship, service to others and deep faith that will live on in all of you. With deepest sympathy, Pegi McLaughlin White
