Barb,
I am so sorry to hear that Jim passed away. we had so many good times together in school but mostly playing baseball. He was my catcher and a very good one.
I haven't seen him in years. I believe it was at your wedding was the last time we saw each other.
He was one of my best friends in high school and quite a while after till he moved away.
I'll pray for him and your family and I pray everything goes well.

Your fried

How sad to hear about Jim. I was sorry he didn't make it to our 50th HS Reunion in September as i had looked forward to an update on his family and life.
I went to Brockport and became a teacher, and one of our mutual friends went to Cortland and became a coach. He said in Cross Country, "Jim Dudek was a 'pure runner' who could outrun and outlast deer."
I know Jim would always help me with my math homework - whew --- i passed!
Handsome - intelligent - athletic: Whatta guy!

I wish I would have gone up to meet the class this year.
God bless you and your family.

Barb: Very sorry to hear about Jim (just talked to Al about an hour ago). Like Al, I have a ton of childhood memories and you and your family are part of many of them. I hope you and your family can enjoy the holidays - I'm sure Jim would have wanted that.

Best regards,

Tom Brasser

Barb/Lisa/Lori,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Mr. Dudek was a terrific man and was an important person in my life as I grew up with all of you. I have many beautiful memories of him. My favorite was the time that he and Mr. Monfalcone took us cocky kids (Kevin and me) out and whipped us in golf just to show us a lesson :)

I'm sure my Dad is up there welcoming him with open arms.

My heart goes out to all of you. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
