Not sure what to say?

Chicago has lost a great leader in James Crown, his legacy and generosity will never be forgotten.

Jim lived down the hall from me my first year at Hampshire College. He was an easy-going, friendly guy who never once mentioned who his family was, or how rich they were. The only thing that set him apart from the rest of us was his stereo, which was all high-end audiophile gear. Alevah Shalom, Jim.

He was never too busy to talk to me when I worked in Aspen as a journalist. He was kind like all members of the Crown family. I'm so sorry to hear this news Paula. Miss you all. Diane Tegmeyer

A wonderful man. Kind, generous, committed to his family, Chicago, the world. Filled with kindness and great humor, his leadership will live on.

My wife Terri Marsh-Bradley and I Wallace Gator Bradley and our family send our condolences to the family and friends. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
