Not sure what to say?

I can´t believe it´s been almost 10 years! So much has changed over the years but your memory is still strong. I can imagine you playing the piano somewhere beautiful. I continue to create and grow, but wish I could share the work with you and hear your advice. You will always be remembered.

I continue to miss Jim so very much. He was a wonderful friend and student and colleague at MIT year. What a terrible loss. I am so sad he suffered so at the end.

Jim is so often on my mind, his good friendship, his imaginative architectural practice, his love of music. I miss him very much

James, I would not be where I am today without you. I will always remember your.

I knew Jim right after he graduated from MIT and when he was learning the ropes of life in the Big City. He was always very affectionate and interesting and I will miss him a lot.

Jim was a wonderful man and a good colleague. He did amazing work with the Board of Trustees and staff of the New York Society Library. I will miss him so. My condolences to his family and friends. - Mark Bartlett, (former) Head Librarian NYSL

Jim was a close and very dear friend. I am shocked and grief stricken by his death. We met when he was a student at MIT and he took a course with me. Then others, then as a teaching assistant in a few of my courses. Over the years we became wonderful friends, meeting up in Paris, Vienna, Cambridge, New York, Vermont. My heart goes out to the family at this tragic loss. He brought light to his family, friends and in his great gifts as an architect. I will miss him terribly.

I had worked with James for about 10 years on various projects. He was a fine architect, a great pianist and a good friend. He will be missed.

Dear Mary Jane and Ned, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Hold on to the memories and may they bring you peace and comfort. Jim is a brilliant and creative soul and as my professor always believed in and encouraged me. With much sadness, Jim & Pat Sedor
