Not sure what to say?

I think of you often, Mr. C. I wish I had CD's of your singing, because I truly miss your voice, and your presence. Sending love to your family and friends, always. Thank you for all you taught me as a teacher and as a friend.

I miss you Mr. C. I will always remember your kindness, caring, great sense of humor, smile and beautiful voice.

He gave music to the hearts of thousands. What a great legacy that will go on forever. We will miss him.

Some of the Krisak cousins. Jim is in the back.

Theresa, children, and Rob: Deepest condolences to you during this sad time. We were very sorry to learn of Jim's illness and death, but thinking of him brings memories of happy times. May your own memories of your husband, dad and brother sustain you.

Some of my best memories in High School were of the music area and the sanctuary Mr. C provided for the students. He will truly be missed.

Jim was a friend. I will miss him. Condolences to the family.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I WAS A STUDENT OF HIS. HE WAS A FANTASTIC TEACHER.

One of my favorite things growing up was attending midnight mass at St. Pats. One of the main reasons was the music that Mr Callaghan led during the mass. It always made the night that more special. The McCarthys are thinking of you.
