Father Bajorek was not only knowledge and brilliant but understanding and compassionate. His actions drew us closer to our faith and to Our Lord. His prayer card is attached to our Crucifix in our view daily.

It's been a year now since Our Lord called our dear Father Jim home. For all of us who had the honor to know him, he changed our lives for the better-forever! He will always be in our hearts and we are blessed to have spent time with him.

God bless you father. You were the best priest in the area. Inspirational. You gave me hope for the Catholic institution. I will miss you.

We are saddened by the loss of Father Bajorek. If it is any comfort we met father at Holy Martyrs after he was ordained in 1980 and believe that we were the first couple that he preformed a marrage ceremony for on Sept 27, 1980. After 31 years we are still together. Our condolances to his family and friends

My family will be eternally grateful to Father Bajorek for celebrating the memorial Mass for my great-nephew, Finn Mortimer, and great-niece, Charlotte Mortimer, in June 2010. It was an extremely difficult time for my family and we continue to need prayers to heal.

Father Bajorek was my classmate at St. Joseph HS in Cleveland. He was truly one of the kindest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. May he rest in peace.

Father Jim was a great Man, good Friend, and a very caring and loving Pastor. I fondly remember sitting with him at my Sister's wedding reception - he was the life of the party and had a hilarious wit about him. His sermons were always from the heart and often touched my heart and those of my fellow St. John Chrysostom parishoners. I know he is in heaven now looking over us. Father Jim you ARE and always will be missed!

I remember Father Bejorak fondly from high school at St James. Kind man who will be missed.

Father Bajorek guided my family through the loss of my mother in February, 2010. He provided so much comfort to my brother and sister, who sat with my mother as she passed away in the hospital. Father offered our entire family spiritual food, kindness, and support through a horrible ordeal. At my mother's funeral, he was so warm and loving, I felt like I'd known him always. It was clear to me then, he was a gifted soul, and that he'd touched the lives, deeply, of so many people. God bless Father Bajorek.

I knew Father Jim when he taught at St. James High School in Chester. He was such a down to earth guy, and I have thought of him often over the years. Even though it's been a long time since I've seen him, I still remember him like it was yesterday. He was an amazing person and I was lucky to have known him.

SO SO SAD FOR THE LOSS OF FATHER JIM. HE WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO SO MANY PEOPLE. HIS SERMONS & MESSAGES WERE CERTAINLY FROM HIS HEART & HIS LOVE OF HIS FAITH. GOD HAS TAKEN "ONE OF HIS BEST" BACK HOME! YOUR LIFE & LEGACY IS TRULY A TRIBUTE FOR A "JOB WELL DONE" AS A PRIEST! MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, FATHER JIM - AND THANK YOU!!!!

Father was one of the nicest people I had the honor to meet. He will be missed. I am sure He is working right now with God. I met Him working at Crozer Hospital on the Information Desk. I always looked forward to his coming in.
