Our deepest sympathy to all of your family.
Jim was the facilitator for our Peace and Justice Committee at St. Mary's in Kirkwood. He told so many good stories and also wore such a wonderful smile on his face. His eyes always sparkled.

Your Mom always kept him in line and we always enjoyed her subtle way of doing so.

We loved both of your parents so much. Now they are reunited together.

May you all be comforted during this difficult time by the...

Our deepest sympathies go to your family. We were so grateful for all the years Jim and Dolores contributed to the Justice & Peace Advisory Council. While some may have shied away from his "detailed" conversations I was very happy to learn whatever I could from this remarkable man. He loved his family and was very proud of his children and grandchildren's accomplishments.
