Dearest Penny, Karen and Todd,
Though it has been awhile since we've been together, I have thought of you all so often and wished we could have seen each other more. Jim was such a wonderful person, as well as husband and dad. It was such a shock when I heard this past weekend of Jim's passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this very difficult time in your lives. Jim is watching over your family and you will all be reunited one day. God bless and I love you...

Dear Swisher Family,

I have often thought of Dr. Swisher and remember him when I attended Robert E. Lee Jr. High School. He was very involved with the students and was always a great listener and a friend. He was no nonsense and expected the best from us all.

Appreciatively, I will always remember his kindness, firm beliefs and that he expected no less than the best from me. I admired him and looked up to him with the utmost respect. As a teenager, his words were golden...

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

I AM TRULY SORRY TO LEARN OF DR. SWISHERS DEATH. I HAD HIM AT LEE AND DUNBAR . HE WAS SUCH A NICE GUY. I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

I went to both Dunbar and Heritage when Dr. Swisher was principal. I remember him as compassionate and fair. He and my father were friends from their youth, and my dad had nothing but praise for him as well.

Mrs. Swisher, Karen, Todd, and families:
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. What a legacy Dr. Swisher left for us who were students at Heritage High School. May you find peace and be comforted. Isaiah 41:10.

Dear Swisher Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences in your time of sorrow. Dr. Swisher was a kind man who took the time to guide myself and many others from high school to adulthood. I am honored to have crossed his path.

On behalf of the three Bandujo kids that all had Dr. Swisher as principal many years ago, we express our sympathy. Dr. Swisher leaves a great legacy and many, many people who were positively affected by his heart and dedication.

Dear Penney, Karen and Todd,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your father left a wonderful legacy of students who remember him with fondness and appreciation. Praying for your family.
