I was very sorry to learn of Jim's passing. We met in 1977 when I moved to Columbus from Florida and he interviewed me for a job with his firm. The Florida connection made the interview easy, and we enjoyed a great law practice in Columbus and Sunbury for 3 years.

The Whitney Family is in our thoughts, with the passing of Jim. Your loss is shared with us as we reflect on relationships with the Whitney Family in our early years.

Dear Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I had the privilege of getting to know him through my dear friend Marianne. He was so welcoming when I stayed in his home and I will never forget our trip to New York for the Westminster show. Blessings to you all.

Dear Jean, please let us know when the interment date will be. We would very much like to be there. Ann(Bodenman) [email protected]

So sorry to hear about Jim's passing for those of us who had the good fortune to know him. But grateful that he is on his way to even better things in the heavenly court:-) Jim mediated many of my cases over the years. He was always warm and colorful with his many stories that helped put a client at ease. I will surely miss him. May God bless him and all the family and friends in this time.

Cathy, you have our deepest sympathies

We are thinking about the whole family and keep you in our thoughts and prayers. ☮
