NEWS FLASH...JIM FINLEY NAMED SPORTS EDITOR OF THE "HEAVENS GATE HERALD"

Jim gave so much of his time to the youth of Bonner Springs. always present at the kids' games. sorry to hear of his passing.

I moved to Bonner Springs twenty-two years ago from Noel, Mo.. Prior to moving I called the Recreation Department in Bonner Springs and spoke to Mr. Finley. He assured me that Bonner had a great sports program and my family would love Bonner as much as he did. He was right! What a great man. Tammy Meisenheimer and family

Thank you Jim for your contribution to all the lives you have touch. You are and were a great asset to this community. Your work in the sports environment will live for decades. Thanks for being a family friend.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Finley. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

They don't mak'um like that anymore. WHAT A GUY!

Jim, you were one of the best friends I ever had. You were my mentor at TWA, you taught me everything I knew. We were friends for many years. I talked to you every day on the telephone, some days more than once. You always called me "ole buddy" that I'll never forget. The memories will last forever. I'll see you again one of these days.

It was my great honor to know Jim. He was an extremely able person who gave so much to his Church and this community. He always had the best interests of the young at heart in everything he did. Two prime examples are his 20 years on the School Board of USD 204,and sport's column that he wrote for the Chieftain for fifty years. He will be missed by all that knew him. My condolences go out to his family.
