James "Jimmy" Lazar

Dear Marla and family,
I just learned of Jimmy's passing today on Facebook . My parents and his were very close. The last time I saw Jimmy was at the Old Orchard Jr High reunion. He always had a big smile and was so friendly. My thoughts and prayers are with you , Marla and your family. He was a great kid and a great man! He will be missed.

So sorry for your loss, Marla.

Longtime Skokie neighbor from the Highland School days, I just learned last night via Facebook of Jimmy's passing. Saw him for the first time at our 40th reunion last year maybe since high school or another reunion. He was so warm with specific memories of my family from years ago. Was so nice to catch up. Such a tragedy; my heart goes out to the family. Alison Stern Stilwell

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Jimmy's death. I knew Jim and his parents, sister, and brother (as well as Marla) from my years working at the Skokie JCC in the late 60's and early 70's. I actually had him in a group as early as kindergarten. My heart goes out to all of you. He truly was a great kid and, obviously, a wonderful and caring adult with so many friends.

Marla,

So very sorry for your loss.

I knew Jimmy from The Claim Company many many years ago. I'd bump into him from time to time and he was always so upbeat and pleasant and interested. What a guy. I am so saddened to hear of his passing and so sorry for your loss.

I've known Jimmy for a long time. From the Rovins to the Lazars...may his memory be a blessing.

Jimmy was such a fine human. He will be missed.
