Jim taught me "that the credits were the ones closest to the window". He and his fellow teachers of the late '40s and early '50s were dedicated people and I thank God for all of them. Jim became a life long friend after I finished school.

Buz will be remembered fondly by people on the other side of the world. His quiet words of wisdom and generosity of spirit had a wide influence - a true gentleman.

We are so sad to learn of the passing of our dear friend, and fellow organ enthusiast. Jim was a very special gentleman and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I will miss all the good times I had with Buzz at the friendly confines of Menominee. I always looked forward to seeing him every summer. "Fill a Stein.."

Jim was a wonderful neighbor for over twenty years on Kenneth Drive before we left Rantoul in 1993. The organ music coming from his house in the morning was always a pleasant start of the day. Our sympathy is extended to his family and friends.

Mr. Wyeth as I will always remember him was most responsible for me choosing to go into education as my career. My wife the former Bev Stevenson and myself will always remember him and his professionalism. He also gave me my first plane ride which scared the life out of me.
One great person.

When you know someone for as long as many of us from Camp Menominee knew Jim, and when you associate that person with one very special place, that of course being CM, you assume that they will always be there and always be a part of that special place. How unfortunately untrue that is. Although I have not been involved with Menominee in any meaningful way for many years, hearing of Jim's death leaves me with a very empty feeling ... an emptiness that I know will be filled by many years of...
