Not sure what to say?

I roomed with his son Jay at BC. I only met him a couple of times, but I always felt he was a righteous dude.

Most sincere condolences from Tom Mead, Kathy McGlynn Britain's brother-in-law.

Kate and family, please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss. You will all be in my heart and prayers.

My condolences to Evelyn and to all the children and grandchildren. Jimmy meant the world to Kathy and was always so welcoming to me. My heart goes out to all of you.

A mentor and a friend. You encouraged me to pursue my dreams. Your generosity, your compassion, and your dedication (mixed with your humor) are examples I try to emulate. There simply aren't enough thanks I can offer for setting me on my course.

Dear Evelyn-
With our condolences on Jim's passing...

Jay and Liz,

I am sorry for your loss. Rest assured Dr. Leach led a varied, interesting, and full life. Others should be so fortunate (and Liz what a wonderful obituary). I know it is a difficult time for you both but I hope your memories of your father (and father-in-law) can provide you some comfort during this melancholy period.

With deepest sympathy,

Paul

Being a young RN in the ER,it was always nice to see Dr. Leach.
He would. Come to the ER to read a film,that was not conclusive. He would often see the patient then he would render his diagnosis.
He always would leave the staff more informed and usually laughing atone of his bad jokes.
Sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry to hear of cousin Jim's passing. Our thoughts and
Prayers are with the family.
Love,
Marcia and Tony Bruno
