To the McCullough family,
I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I have many found memories of Coach over the years. I played for Titusville and his team beat us for the championship the last game of the year. After that I went to Slippery Rock played football and went on to coach and teach for thirty eight years.

Coach,
Even though I was associated with you,involving Thiel football,for only 4 short years,you made a distinct favorable impression on my life. For that and the friendship - I am eternally grateful. You have done well, rest in peace.

To the McCullough Family;
I was saddened to learn earlier today of Jim's death. I have great memories of playing for him during the 1973-1977 seasons at Thiel. On behalf of myself, my family and my teamates please accept our prayers and condolences during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in knowing how many lives have been influenced by you husband and father.

Coach, I will remember you always. From my young years, keeping charts for you at Franklin HS, through playing for you at Thiel College, to speaking over the years. Rest in Peace.

I was so sorry to read of Jim's passing. He was a great commisioner for us when I was at Delta State. More importantly he was my friend.I wish you all the best as you go on without him.

Mrs. McCullough and Family,
I was greatly saddened to learn today of Jim's passing. I remember both of you through my parents, Ed and Ginny Kreger, who were friends from back in Franklin. I distinctly remember going to Steeler football games with my parents and both of you. I later had a chance to talk with Jim when he was at California State and I was a student at Clarion. I saw him in the cafeteria and went up and introduced myself and we had a very nice talk.
My sincerest...
