I remember a Jim Connelly #5 who played for the Santa Clara Lions in the Nugget Bowl vs Roseville Bobcats in pouring down rain in Placerville, CA. on November 28th, 1970. Superb player. Great memories.

                          #64 Roseville Bobcats

The most fun I had with Jim, is every time we crossed paths. If anything I would say the day I met him at the Bears Lounge on San Carlos.
Jim always told me I was one of the coolest people he has ever met and I felt the same about him...
REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER. You are missed, yet in a much better place no longer suffering the daily pains.
Love to Jim and anybody ever lucky enough to meet him.

With heart felt warm wishes to Jim's family and anyone affected by his passing.

ONE LOVE
AGAPE LOVE

i will never forget you xo

Jim will truly be missed. He always had a way of making everyone laugh and bringing so much life into every moment. We will never forget his humor, his energy, and the joy he shared so effortlessly. My heart goes out to everyone who loved him and his family during this difficult time. 

With deepest sympathy,

My thoughts are with the Connolly family, friends, and all who are feeling this loss. May Jim rest in peace, and may we all hold on to the good memories we shared.

My heart is with his family during this time. Rest in peace Uncle Jim. You were one of a kind. 

Well big bro, who was always, and surprisingly, louder than me. Boy did we enjoy those BLUES together, great times that live in my soul...even though it got us both in trouble! We sometimes fought hard (as siblings do) but there's so much truth in this obit...you cared for me so thoughtfully well when my bones got broken...I've never forgotten. Say hi to my Dad for me, and Mickey's Daddy too. I know you'll rest in eternal peace...but I can still hear you! What a great laugh I had with you twice this week! It's cool if you keep showing up to tell me I'm crazy, cuz I'm not and you know that too! No pain brother!!

my condolences to all the family. "hey coach my You finally rest in peace. thank you for all our talks and your guidance . thank you for helping shape me into the person I am today." "FOREVER LIONS , LIONS FOREVER " LOVE YOU JIMBO, COACH AND ILL MISS YOU.
