To the Dunning Family,
Having just come upon the notice of Jim’s passing, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to you all. Those of us who were blessed by his presence in our lives will always remember his wonderful sense of humor and his voracious curiosity about all things. It does him great honor to have fathered two sons who inherited the fine intellect and many talents passed down to them not only from their father but from their grandparents, Joe and Nancy Dunning as well. My family and I share your sadness at the loss of this exceptionally fine man.

Rosemary, Brian, Patrick
You have been in thoughts and prayers from the very beginning of his journey. It was always wonderful to hear his stories about the boys and the things you did as a family. Many times when I would help him fill his pockets with gumballs to bring home. Having him bring your best receipt for cookies, and share it with me. Or a cake you would make and he would share with all of us. I miss working with him and having his knowledge at hand. He truly will be missed.

Dear Rosemary & "Jim's Boys",
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim many years ago. He was a very kind, loving and generous person.
Jim would entertain my daughter Mia while she would sometimes visit my mother, Simalay at work.
I just wanted to send my condolences.
Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Warm Regards,
Anna Coutu

To Jim's Family,
My condolences on Jim's passing. He was a good friend in high school and a fine person. Although we did not keep in touch much after high school, I have very positive thoughts about Jim and have thought about him over the years. His many accomplishments and strong family life come as no surprise. I regret that we did not reconnect in our adult lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Jim was very special to me - outside of his competence as a professional, I will always remember his smile and his giggle and the twinkle in his eye, and his devotion to his family. Jim was an important member of my team for many years and I will miss him. His work meant much to patients and as a co-worker - he was always there for each member of the team. I will honor his memory always.

Dear Rosemary and "Jim's Boys",
I too worked with Jim at Bard. I left several years ago and just heard the very sad news. He was truly a 'great guy' and I loved hearing stories about activities he did with the boys.
I wish you comfort and peace.

My deepest sympathy for all. James is now peacefully resting and may God continue to bless him and all of his family.

Rosemary and Boys,
May the Lord comfort you all and bring you peace during this time of deep sadness. I worked with Jim for the past 12 years here at Bard. I had a lot of admiration for him and always respected his opinion. Having two boys myself, we chatted about boys things. He was a great dad and a wonderful co-worker. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

To Jim's Family -
My heart goes out to you - I played soccer with Jim at Binghamton in '73 & 74 and as several people noted Jim was a gentle Giant.

Dear Rosemary:
Words cannot express how saddened we are of the news of Jim's passing. You may not recall, but Jim and I worked together at Honeywell and Textron. I have so many wonderful memories of what a "great" person he was to work with and to have as a friend.
Please know that we shall keep him and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I was saddened to pickup the Press and read of Jim passing away. We were classmates through school and teammates on the M-E Varsity Soccer Team. He was solely responsible for dragging me to that first summer practice, and to "just try soccer". He was a great teammate, leader, and a fierce competitor on the field. I had no doubt that he would continue to be a fine ambassador for soccer. My prayers go out to his family.

To Jim's family,
So very very sorry to hear of your loss - my brother just called from back home in NY - apparently the Binghamton Press carried the notice of Jim's passing. Jim's name was commonly heard at our house while I was growing up in Maine NY. My brother Alec, two years my senior, and Jim were friends from grammar school thru high school. They were fullbacks on the high school soccer team. friends (maybe longer than that). If my memory serves me correctly, Jim's mother was a school teacher who taught a science section on imprinting in ducks - we ended up with two large Peking ducks who followed my younger brother Greg wherever he went.....with the ducks noisily bringing up the rear.
Fond memories all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during these difficult days.

Dear Rosemary & Family: On behalf of the Binghamton University soccer teams that Jim played on I want to extend our sympathy to you and your family.
Jim was a wonderful human being and we were fortunate to have him on our 1973 and 1974 teams. He did visit us now and then and we really enjoyed connecting with him.
I have notified our alumni of his passing and we are hoping to arrange a moment of silence in Jim's memory this week at our home soccer matches.
Again, I and the team members are thinking of you at this sad moment. Sincerely - Tim Schum, Jim's coach
