Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 03/11/07
James Michael Dunlap died Friday, March 9, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. He was 42.
James was born in New Brunswick, and lived in Milltown most of his life. He was working for Energy Photovoltaics of Lawrenceville with solar energy. He also was a teacher of English at Trenton Charter School and in the Carteret and Keansburg school systems. He was a graduate of St. Joseph's High School, Glassboro State University with a B.A. degree, and he received his master's degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University. He was also a DJ and did a stand-up comedy routine.
He was predeceased by his father, James F. Dunlap, in 1979. James is survived by his mother, Donna E. Dunlap of Milltown; his wife, Mary Frances Dunlap of Howell; his son, Robert White of Howell, and his brothers, Thomas E. and his wife, Riaza Dunlap, of Milltown and Paul M. Dunlap of Milltown.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 14, at Boylan Funeral Home, 188 Easton Ave., New Brunswick, followed by a 10:30 a.m. Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes R.C. Church in Milltown. Cremation will be private. Family and friends may visit from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. and 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to NJ Sharing Network (for Donor Families), 841 Mountain Ave., Springfield, NJ 07081, or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn.
(The odd thing is the more I see this the worse this is becoming. I'm planning to go to the last half of the viewing today (about 3) and then from 7-9. I'll go to his funeral tomorrow and then
Silence.
The "official" ceremonies of departure are over and I find a way to fill the huge holes that are left in my life.

Date: 2007-03-17 07:00 pm (UTC)Life is short. Sometimes it is bitter like overcooked coffee. Sometimes it is sweet like the smell of spring rain. Sometimes it is a mixture of things good and bad. I am so sorry for your loss, I am sorry your time together was so short. I am so happy you had the time you did, that you said the words you wanted to say, that you can share this with others and let them into your private soul to see the beauty of what you shared.
I thank you for reminding me to treasure each and every day as if there are tomorrows, because one day, for all of us, tomorrow will not come.
