Read MoreI just learned today of Jim's passing. My heart is so heavy with sadness. Jim was my best friend in homewood through all my growing up years. We played vacant lot ball every summer and saw each other every day growing up. We sang together in our little trio with Geoff Eisenberg. I loved him like a brother. His family felt like my own . Chuck, Joe, Kathleen. I will miss him forever. God bless Jim.

To the entire Bretz family I'd like to offer my deepest sympathy. I worked with Jim at MHS basketball games and again at football games. He was a true gentleman. I'll miss that smile and voice that sounded so smooth.
