Hon. James M. Schreier

To the Schreier Family: I am so sorry for your loss. My father, a great man, died when I was a little girl. There was a void for many years. And then I met Judge Schreier when I was assigned to his courtroom as an Assistant State's Attorney. The Judge was a great man who exemplified all the qualities my father had exhibited. A man of great faith, courage, loyalty and compassion. And now God has called our dear Judge Home - where my father has met him - and thanked him for filling the...

I am saddened by the death of Judge Schreier. He was a wonderful man and an outstanding Judge. He was fair, honest and a credit to the judiciary. There are few like him. Rest in peace your Honor.

Our deepest sympathy to the Schreier Family.

With Deepest Sympathy to Jim, friend and a true gentleman of the highest order. Ed & Bonnie Theobald

Angels do walk the earth and he was a prime example.

God bless Jim, his family, & his friends. We moved next to Jim´s family, his sainted mom & dad & his sisters, Sr. Mary Kay and Eileen, in my last year away at my high school seminary. When I left the college seminary 4 ½ years later he sold me his Chevy Impala for $65.00 to get me to my job at the steel mill & later to my job as a teaching assistant at UIC. He acted like a big brother or uncle to me. When I finished Law School he guided me into the States Attorney´s Office instead...
