Not sure what to say?

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Debbie and family in the loss of Jim. I was a classmate of Jim's and have fond memories of our high school years. I'll always remember the fun we had on class night. Jim was a great guy and will be dearly missed.

Mr. "D" was my Drivers-Ed teacher in the mid sixties, and he taught both of my daughters in the same capacity. Then I taught his son, Jim, at Freedom. In the Bethlehem community I always voted for Jim DelGrosso when he ran for office, and felt assured that he was always honest. His behavior on the golf course echoed that. It is no surprise to read of so many accolades in this MC site. Jim Delgrosso was one special person.

Dear Debbie and Family,

My heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time in all of your lives as you honor a treasured life. Jim and I were classmates in High School and I will always have fond memories of our younger days

Debbie,
At the end of Jim's teaching career, we always loved teasing Jim about being the "most senior" member of the Liberty staff. Imagine all of the people over the years Jim influenced. I had him as a Driver's Ed teacher then he became a mentor for me when I returned to Liberty as a teacher. No matter what Jimmy did, whether in his career, whether in politics, whether in his family or social life, he always remained a true gentleman - a gentle soul so full of life with a kind...

I only knew Jim Delgrosso for three weeks, the result of a shared experience treking through the vastness of Patagonia. Along with Lou Pagano and Chuck McIntyre, Jim was one of the Three Wisemen from Bethlehem. He was a prince of a man, a good fellow with a great heart.
My condolences to Debbie, his family and friends.

I am very sad to hear of Mr. Delgrosso's passing. He was my driver's ed teacher at Liberty and I still hear him in my head when I am out on the road. I owe my clean driving record to him. I also remember him always smiling and waving when he passed our house. He was a very special person and I am so grateful that I knew him. May your memories of him bring you peace.

Dear Debbie & family:
We share your grief over the loss of a fine man. Words cannot express the warmth and joy for life that Jimmy shared with everyone he met. Always a gentleman with a smile and a kind word.
It has been 48 years since I met Jimmy at KU, but every time we got together it always seemed like yesterday. May we meet again, my friend.
