I knew Jim in 1969-1970 as a colleague in the Villanova History Department. We stayed in touch with each other until his death. He was a fine historian and a gentleman, and I am proud to have known him.

Jim Bergquist -- a man of subtle humor, steady focus, unflagging loyalty, compelling integrity, and persistent curiosity -- lived a life worth living because he gave to others so generously. You will be missed. Deep sympathies to his family, but also thanks for sharing Jim with us.

My sincere condolences. Jim was a friendly colleague (he in History, I in Economics) at Villanova.

May his soul rest in peace.

Life is so short and those we love are gone from our lives too quickly. Our compassionate Heavenly Father promises to empty the graves in the near future. This promise is found at Hosea 13:14. May the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow.
