James N. Yvon

Mr Yvon seen a great future for me when I didn´t... thank you for seeing it for me. I thank god that I had the opportunity to have crossed paths, learn, and eat dried mangos with you. I´m right behind ya! Merdy

Leslie and family,
Like so many others, I am stunned to hear of Jim's loss. I think in so many ways he was the best of Westfield and, in fact, a role model for the rest of the world. May your memories of him eventually bring you all peace and know that I will be praying for that for you all.

To my old friend Jimmy and the rest of the Yvon family, I am very sorry for your loss.

Very sorry to hear about Jim. I worked with for years with the Mass. Teachers' Association. He was a great advocate for teachers and a good friend. Larry O'Brien

Dear Les and Family,

We are still reeling from the news of Jim's passing which has just reached us here in Florida. We are stunned. The Westfield community has been dealt yet another blow with the loss of this ‘larger than life', soft spoken yet powerful , civic-minded individual. ‘Big Jim' will be sorely missed. Deep deep sympathy and condolences to you, his beloved and cherished family of whom he was so very proud! You remain in our prayers.

The years go by so fast. Remember walking around AIC grounds with you and your cousin. RIP. You'll be missed.

No words can express the sorrow we feel for Leslie and their family. He will be greatly missed. Christine and Bob

Leslie and family...A wonderful cousin and a great human being. He will be deeply missed.

Sorry to read about Jim's passing. Worked with him in Granville. Shared our love of children's literature even though we had friendly disagreements about certain authors. Will certainly be missed. Susan RI
