My deep prayers for Jim's family. It is a sudden and shocking loss.
I spent 4 years with Jim at Berkshire, back when we were learning who we were as people. I had grown up in Kenilworth, and Jim in nearby Lake Forest. We both loved hockey. But we were opposites as I was like a chicken with my head cut off on the ice, and Jim was like a laser beam, efficiently going to where the puck was heading.

So very saddened to hear this news. Jim has been handling our mailings for many years. Our heartfelt condolences to his family from all of us at Horizons Window Fashions.

My heartfelt condolences to the family

My condolences to the family. Wishing them peace and comfort

Prayers for Jim and his family. I was fortunate to go to Berkshire School with Jim and we enjoyed the early seventies together. So sorry to lose another friend too young. He is on to the next adventure.

We are neighbors on Wildwood Road. We are so sorry and shocked by this sudden loss to your family. We would see Jim and your dog every morning as we picked up our paper in the driveway. Sometimes a wave, sometimes deep in thought, always pleasant. Our deepest condolences.
Jim and Gretchen Allen

I had the pleasure of working closely and traveling with Jim during his tenure at ITW. We enjoyed a friendly rivalry as he was a graduate of Babson and I a graduate of nearby Bryant. We shared news regularly of our growing families. As with most professional acquaintance, we drifted apart when he left ITW to create ISB. He was always trying to find ways to to be successful, w/o leaving a wake of ill feelings behind, in all the projects on which we worked together.

It is serendipity...

Jana: From my family to yours, we are so very sorry for your loss. Jimbo was our friend and we are sad for you, Kalie, Bo and the entire Westrich and Cathcart families. Glenn and Yvonne Furth
