Jim coached my son, Kellan, on the John Stark High School football team. I´ll never forget how much all the boys admired and respected him, and I know he felt the same for them. I got to know him pretty well, and always enjoyed my interactions with him and Emily. My deepest condolences go out to Emily, Liam and Thea, as well as the rest of his family. Rest in peace, my friend.

So sorry for this huge loss, prayers of comfort and peace in the times like this we take comfort in knowing we will meet again in the air or in Our heavenly home With our Savior anen

He was a good coach and a better man. He guided me through 4 years of high school football despite simultaneously being a father and a lawyer. He set a strong example of character, strength, and resilience that I still aspire to. I will always appreciate the time he gave, and the lessons I learned from him; it went beyond just football. My heart goes out to his family.

I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to James' family and friends. -Tim Lynch (Hamilton '94)

We knew Jim in the community and as a football coach to our son. He taught the young men, now grown adults, the importance of commitment, dedication, and individual contribution to a team that carries them through life now. Deepest condolences to Emily and his entire family.

Jim was a wonderful coach and mentor to my sons Aidan and Jack during their Redhawks Football days. Very sad to hear of his passing and so very very sorry for your loss. Praying for you all today.

I knew Jim only in passing at Hamilton, but recall him warmly. The news of his passing is so very sad to me. My deepest condolences to his family, and to his DKE family. Steve Feron
