James F. Hild

A fountain of geological knowledge no matter where he was. A phone call here and there, birthday wishes, news about a latest trip or plans for the next trip, family news . We´ll miss you Jimmy. Much love to Elaine, Kate, Allison and Mark

Where does one begin? Jim was indestructible. A hard-nosed athlete, incredibly smart and a dear, dear friend. The days he would pick us up in the baby blue convertible for school, taking ski trips to Vermont "looking for snow", entertaining Jim when he came to Cortland on weekends to get out of Troy. Skipping school to go skiing at Labrador Ski Center with "Venus", Tim Mac, The Knittel Brothers, Jimmy Pryne......the memories are endless. Jim, Steve Nagy and I left Buffalo on New Years `1976...

Jim stood up in my wedding great guy. A lot smarter than I was

I went to Liverpool high school with Jaime, we were on the football teams together. While i have seen him since we graduated, I remembered him as a great kind and funny guy. I am so sorry to lean of his passing and I send my deepest condolences to his family.

Sorry to learn that Jim died. I remember Jim from Liverpool HS, we played football together for our coaches Mr. Donati and Mr Carmanna. He was a good player and a good guy. It sounds as if he had a good life I studied geology too, at SU , got a masters from MS State, and have been teaching geology at Marist School in Atlanta for over 30 years.

Jim and I were classmates at LHS class of 1970. He was a quiet guy but always friendly and helpful to others. Condolences to all his family and friends. Sad news for sure.
