Not sure what to say?

So sad too hear of Jim's passing ... His time with us in Australia was always so precious. He would travel so far to be part of our child care world and he lit up my imagination of what could be.

"Why not?" said Jim as he taught us the simple truths about the child and the possibilities ... the possibilities that we held in our hands and hearts to do not just ‘well’, but to strive every day to do ‘exceptionally well’! I was looking to find contact details for Jim today to seek...

My heartfelt sympathies to Chip, Barbara, Tommy, Molly and other family members. I have fond memories of Jimmy and that wicked sense of humor. God Bless-

My thoughts and prayers are with Molly and the entire Greenman family at their loss and throughout this difficult and sad time.

I knew Jim mostly from high school on, though we hadn't much contact in recent years. But as a journalist who covers, among other things, early childhood education, I often thought of him with pride that I even knew him. But personally, I'll always remember him as one of the funniest, most genuine people I ever knew. He was a pleasure to talk with about politics or any other subject.

My thoughts are with you.I worked with Jim at Glendale when Emma was a preschooler and Annie a baby then toddler. I have many fond memories of that time and all I learned from Jim!

I heard about Jim from his sister, Barbara. She is very proud of him! I'm sure he will be greatly missed by friends and family, by co-workers, and by some who didn't know him personally, but know of his work and teachings in the child care field.

My thoughts and sympathy are with you all.

My thoughts are with you all, dear cousins, as you go through this most difficult time. I know the pain you must all be feeling. What special memories I have of "Jimmy" especially at gatherings at "501" and family picnics with all the cousins running around:-) How wonderful to read about Jim's tireless work at Bright Horizons - I'm sure many families and lives have been touched over the years because of him !!!
Big Hugs and Prayers to you all ~~
