James Ronald Yates

Kathy and Family,

I remember you and Jim with fondness from St. Mary's High School. I even remember going on a couple of double dates the summer after graduation. I am so very sorry for your loss and will remember you in my prayers.

We are so sorry to hear about Jim. We knew him from St. Mary's - a great person. You are all in our prayers.

Katie and family,

I attended St. Mary's high school with Jim. He was a great guy. I even had a picture of him as a basketball player in my pictures. He will be in my prayers.

Brett, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy to the Yates family. We both worked with Jim at Ohio Bell and thought the world of him. He would always respond immediately and and his sense of humor would help in a hard situation. His many friends will miss him.

Jim was a great "teacher" - he always had a story...with a life lesson included! I fell lucky to have known him. He spoke with much love and pride of his wonderful family...you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My heartfelt prayers go out to Katherine and families. I attended St. Leo with Jim. He was a great guy.
Sincerely, Judy Kiener Thissen

Jim was the smartest guy I ever encountered. He knew everything. He may have known Alexander. I've thought of him many times. Jim was a good guy. I'm sorry for your loss.
