James J. Hayes

I am sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I just happened to see his obituary after "googling" his name. I'm sorry not to have been able to pay my respects to him in person. I worked for many years with him at the Audy Home. I gave him a lift many times to the train station (I live in Hinsdale). He was my (still living) father's age.
