My deepest sympathy to Jim's children. I am so glad I visited him on a recent trip to Peoria. He was one of the first Spalding boys, I met when I came to AOL. And always he was the essence of faith, friendliness, kindness and of a happy disposition. Your care for him and for your Mother was impressive. Know all of you are in my prayers.

Dear Penny Scherer Family,
Jim was one of the very best men Mike and I have known. He was kind and gentle, and a true Notre Dame man. He was so loving in his family. We admired him greatly.
