I first met Jim in junior high school when we were in the seventh grade. Jim was an outstanding athlete and a super person. Fortunately I had chance to see him when he was playing for Penn. Always enjoyed catching up with him at our high school reunions. Jim was a real gentleman and will be missed by all his friends.

Jim and family, Peter and Char and Missy. I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was always mom's "baby brother", no matter what age they were. Sad to realize they all have passed, but hope they are all together keeping an eye on all of us. RIP Uncle Jim.

My sincerest condolences to the Shada Family for the loss of your loved one, James, and pray you find comfort in Psalms 91:2.

To all the Shadas. Dennis and Mike and I are so sorry about the passing of Uncle Jimmy. Over the past 8 years since Mom was here we have kept in touch weekly and I am so glad that we did. I loved when he and Mom spoke. He always would call and ask for his "big sissy" and they would laugh and enjoy their chats. I tried to keep that going since Mom passed and enjoyed keeping in touch and gabbing about the Eagles and Phillies and just hearing his voice kept me connected to the family. He is now at peace and with the love of his life. Prayers for all of you at this time.
