All good thoughts remembering Jim. He is much missed. Carl Farrington

He was a soft spoken beautiful man with a very deep and kind soul. This world needs more of people like Zeb. You will be missed my friend

Jim was a great athlete -- a Jesuit H.S. basketball starter his freshman year, with Tim Casey and Don Oderman and other fine athletes. Saw him again in about 1978 at the Galleria coffee shop. We talked for about an hour about high school and since.

Zeb, From Ryan's Restaurant forward ....always adored you. A sweet soul. I really tried to remember to call you Jim, honestly, but Zeb was imprinted. Say hi to Al for me. Love Jeanie
