Thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this sad time. Jim became a friend of my family back in the late 50's while playing AA ball for the Cardinals in Omaha. I remember his smile and how he always took time to talk with my brother and me.

Mr and Mrs Donahue were genuinely interested in everyone who came into their home. The Donahue home warmly welcomed all guests. As an introverted kid, Mr Donahue had a way of building my self-confidence by congratulating me on something I had accomplished, but had never shared with him. Considering my sports had nothing to do with Jim Jr's, I was always wondered how he came up with the info. It was because he cared. Mr D was larger than life to me. A great man and a great family.

Rest in peace Bones... I'm going to miss you a lot especially all our baseball conversations and the many projects I was able to help you with. Thanks for always loving me and treating me as your son. Enjoy the endless games of ball you'll get to play in heaven. Love always, Michael

I want to offer my condolences to Judi and the children. He was a wonderful man and a good friend. He always had time for everyone and never knew a stranger.
As friends and family say farewell to Jim, he is being welcomed with love by friends and family who have gone before him. I know Jim is with his CBC buddies telling stories and replaying every game and event. Bones and Hoz are together again.
God speed, Jim.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Jim. I have thought of your family often over the years. Condolences to your entire family. (Many years ago someone gave me your dad's baseball card knowing my connection with your family. I will treasure it always.)

Bones taught my 2 boys how to pitch and to throw a 12 to 6 curve ball. He also helped me coach my oldest son's CYC team to the City/County championship in 1998. He was always great with the kids and a delight to be around. Bones was loved by all

I wanted take this opportunity to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and condolences. I want to thank the Mercy Medical Center staff especially his nurses Gabby and Cole for all of their efforts to keep him comfortable and give us hope. I also want to thank my mom and family for never leaving his side. Bones was a very special person to all he touched in life. He was my best friend and I miss him so much. He will never be forgotten.
Thank you to each and everyone of you who's life he touched or made a difference.

Jim was a 1956 graduate of CBC and a loyal son of it. He was a long-time supporter of our school and deservedly a member of the Alumni Hall of Fame.
His wife, Judy, was the Nerinx Hall representative to the 1958 CBC La Promenade Militaire.
