James A. Drucker

Dear Shirley,Anne, Kristen and Susan:
I can't fully express to your family my feelings about Jim's passing. I will forever be in his debt for the many life and business lessons that he taught me. I repsected him for his talents, and most of all the love that he had for all of you. I had the opportunity to receive a letter from him this past October and it meant the world to me. He was an amazing man, with many friends, and I will miss him dearly. May God bless all of you.

Shirley, Jim is on my mind the moment I wake up in the morning. I used to pray to my Dad every day when I was preparing to go to work. We also lost him much too early at age 66. I told you years ago that he was the kindest, most gentle and honest person I ever knew. Bill Jerry and I were the luckiest brothers in the world to have had him as our father. Since Jim has passed my first activity of my day is to pray and talk to Jim. Jim had all of those charistic of my Dad and many more. I...

Dear Shirley and Family,
I first met Jim at SI when he became a formitable member of the golf team. Shortly thereafter I also met Dennis and Bud. What a trio! The love and affection they had for each other was very apparent. The words at the service were very accurate. He was a wonderful person. Very loyal and honest with everyone he came in contact with. I will miss him, especially at the past president dinners. God Bless.

Dear Shirley & family,
We are sorry to learn about Jim's passing. Living in the Chicago area we did not have many times to get together. We have great memories traveling to the bay area several years ago. You and Jim were great hosts and showed us a wonderful time. We also remember Jim's eulogy at your Dad's funeral. That to us really demonstrated his character. You are in our thoughts at this time.

Dear Drucker Family:

My deepest condolences on the passing of Jim. He will be missed by everyone he touched. He was an inspiration and model for all of us in many ways.

Dear Shirley and Family,
My Brother Denis loved Jim. His passing left a big void in Denis and Jan's family.
I thank Jim for being a true friend to Denis and I know Jim has many old San Francisco relationships that we will all treasure. We have fond memories of the Drucker family.

Dear Drucker Family: During the weeks preceding the 1998 US Open at Olympic, I had occasion to visit Jim at the bus offices to discuss something about The Open. I personally enjoyed being out of the darn newspaper office and down in the gritty part of town. Jim was an inspiration to me -- I now drive a bus for United Cerebral Palsy of San Luis Obispo, taking the developmentally disabled to their rounds. It's a "people" job -- and Jim was a great "people" person.

I worked for Jim when I was a teenager washing busses. I can remember washing his car about once a week. This was probably the best job a teenager could have. I am sorry for your loss.

Regards,
