Dear Kate, Jay and Samantha,

Nancy Reid and Janet Lane let the Glenbard West class of 1968 know about James' passing. The obituary gave some information about him and his family. I want to extend my sympathy. Nice memories of James will live on with all of you.

Sincerely yours,

Edward R. Snively
Columbus, Ohio.

Hi Cate, Malcolm Robertson (Malc) writing, hope you remember me from Ronnie Hibles english class and the mock rock survey and our counter culture.
Sorry to hear about Jim (JMC), just ran across it on the internet. JMC and I had some good times together, we went to chicago a few times and the pool parties at his parents house.
I hope you and your son are doing well, and your little sister Peg.
I remember what a beautiful, charming and cool woman you are.
I live in NJ but was in GE about 30 years ago.
I stopped by your house, but no one was home.
It would be nice to talk to you, [email protected], 732-367-5012, give me a call sometime.

Your Old Friend,

Malc

To Cate and family ~ I was fortunate to be able to see Cate and Jim rather frequently as they shopped at McChesney's together, and they evoked smiles and memories from long ago each time I saw them. I know Jim will be missed by all, and send my deepest sympathies.

Cate, my condolences. This notice of Jim's passing brings you both to mind. No couple in the class of '68 matched your style and confidence, you were both ahead of your times. To Jim, his memories, and your family.

Cate, I was so sad to hear you lost Jim. Being married for 42 years is a very long time to be with one person and I am sure you will miss him.

My thought and prayers are with you. Toby Merkel

Cate - I am very sorry to hear about Jim. Those of us from the class take Jim's passing and others from our class so very personally. Please know, that although we did not really know each other very well, and I regret that, I feel a sense of loss for Jim and sorrow for you. Blessings to you. Karen Weibel Ettinger.

Dear Kate, Nancy Grant Reid and Janet Lane let me know about Jim's passing. Like Jim I was part of the 1968 class of Glenbard West High School. You or Jim might remember me, Edward Snively, since I had impaired vision. Regardless, I want to extend my sincerest sympathy to everyone in your family. May God watch over and strengthen all of you. Sincerely yours, Edward R. Snively

Cate, I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was one of my best friends in grade school at St. Pet's. He introduced me to Bob Dylan, for which I could never repay him. I have only good memories of the times I spent with Jim. Playing pool. listening to records, swimming and getting into trouble. It was the best. May he rest in peace.

I will forever miss my pal, Jungle Jim. Our friendship spanned more than three decades. We shared our laughs, our worries, our hopes, and our dreams. The emptiness of his loss shall always be felt by me. My deepest sympathies to Katie, Jay & Samantha

He was the only attorney I ever worked with that I could completely trust. He was a true gentleman. It was also great that he was Irish, too.
