James Michael O'Fallon

I know this is coming much too late to mean anything to anyone, but in reading through the avalanche of federal case decisions currently flowing out of our federal courts, I always wonder to myself what Jim would think about all of this. So I thought I´d look him up and here I am, sorry to learn of his passing. It´s probably better that he´s not in-body here to see what´s going on but I´m sure he is observing from somewhere. He was my Con Law professor in Detroit and really distinguished...

Ellen, my thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I have been thinking of you and would like to get in touch but do not have your phone contact info. Sending my love to you. It's been 30 years since we met at PSU. I know Jim will be missed by all those he knew. Take care.

My heartfelt condolences to your family. May fond memories of your loved one and the loving words and support of others bring you comfort and strength during this time of grief.-Isaiah 57:15

I moved to Manhattan in 1957 and Jim became my best friend. We read the great Russian authors and thought we were cool. We performed a two man play and Jim was great. We learned to drink beer together and remained friends through college. He served as a groomsman at my wedding. I feel a profound loss although we have only seen each other a couple of times since college. My deepest condolences to Jim's family.

To Jims Family & Friends-

I grew up with Jim in Manhattan, Ks. Our families were close since we went to the same Episcopal church. His father wrote a recommendation that helped me get into Northwestern University's graduate school. My mother and his stayed close into their nineties.

Together, Jim and I double dated, accolyted at church and played intramural basketball. He was a valedictorian of our high school graduating class. And that was only the beginning as he went...

What very sad news! I knew Jim all through my childhood as our parents were very good friends. We haven't stayed in touch as adults, but I always respected Jim's intelligence and his good heart. I have heard nothing but good words about his legal work. What a loss to the greater community.
My condolences to the family, especially Kathleen whom I also remember.

When your loved one becomes a memory, it becomes a treasure in your heart & lasts forever. These cherished memories will fill your heart with love & bring you peace.My heartfelt condolences at this difficult time.
