James M. Tilden

I just learned of Jim's passing. What a good and classy gentleman! No doubt he will be missed by all those whose lives he touched.

I wish I had the right words just know that I care. I am very sorry for your loss!! I know everyone says that when someone close to them passes. But I Truly Am Sorry! You and your loved one will be in my thoughts.

My condolences to the family of Jim.
He was a genuine source of positive energy in the life of Western Springs. I have great memories of Village Board, Library Board, annual Citizen Dinners and town politics. Thanks, Jim, for your shining smile and inspiration.

Every conversation with Jim was delightful and he will be sorely missed! God bless you Jim and may your family find courage in every memory.

Jim,
We'll miss you. You were a great guy. If we were to look up the definition of a really decent man, Jim Tilden would be the example. Our condolences to the family.

I was stunned just now reading his name in the Lobby at the University Club. He was wonderful and memorable every time he was here, for always being to upbeat and positive and friendly....and happy. I am very sorry for your loss. He is remembered.
