To The Schutkin Family,
Your father/grandfather was quite a man. I so enjoyed our many visits at Lasata. We became good friends over the years as I visited my brother and always found time to chat with your father. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a lovely man with a warm and kind heart. I'll miss seeing him in his scooter when I go to Lasata.
My very deepest sympathies,
Colleen Sipiora
(sister of LCC resident, Terry Hogan)

CONDOLENCES TO HARRIET, THE CHILDREN AND EXTENDED FAMILY ON THE PASSING OF JAMES.
IT SEEMS, GROWING UP ON 17 & BROWN, AND GOING TO THE LIBRARY AT 16 & NORTH AVE., I ALWAYS KNEW ABOUT SHUTKIN'S PHARMACY, ACROSS THE STREET, BUT DIDN'T GET TO KNOW JIMMY, UNTIL I BECAME A POLICE OFFICER IN 1962, AND ASSISTED HIM WITH SOME PROBLEMS AT THE STORE, WHILE WORKING OUT OF #5 DISTRICT, ON A DAY SHIFT ROVING TACTICAL SQUAD OF ABOUT 25-30 OFFICERS, PUTTING OUT "FIRES" ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY, CROSSING ALL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND RELIEVING THE DISTRICT STATION OFFICERS TO COVER THEIR INCIDENTS, AND OUR TEAM OF 25-30 OFFICERS WHO COULD OPERATE AS A QUICKLY ASSEMBLED TEAM, WHERE-EVER NEEDED.
AS YOU MAY RECALL, I ENTERED MY POLICE WORK CAREER AFTER WORKING IN BROADCASTING SINCE 1955, ATTAINING MY DEGREE IN 1958 AND EVENTUALLY WORKING WITH CARL ZIMMERMANN, AND IN MY 16 TH YEAR VISITED LOS ANGELES AND FOUND A BETTER WAY TO "WINTER", THAN MILWAUKEE. RETURNED TO LOS ANGELES DURING THE FOLLOWING TWO SUMMER VACATIONS TO CHECK INTO THE EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING PURCHASE ABILITY TO RETURN TO BROADCASTING.
RESIGNED IN 1980 FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND HELD TEMPORARY, BUT FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT WITH NBC IN BURBANK, THE TECHNICOLOR CORPORATION AND KHJ-TV, CHANNEL 9 IN HOLLYWOODAND BECAME A STAFF BROADCAST ENGINEER FOR THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK, AT OUR WEST COAST HEADQUARTERS AND RETIRED AFTER 22.5 YEARS IN 2005.
I ALWAYS ENJOYED JIMMY'S PERSONALITY AND REMEMBER VISITING BOTH OF YOU , WHEN YOU LIVED ON 51 ST. NEAR ROOSEVELT DR.
MY BEST TO YOU,
DONALD H. PINSKER, PROUD FORMER MILWAUKEE POLICE OFFICER, 1962-1980.
RETIRED BROADCAST ENGINEER, THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK, WEST COAST HEADQUARTERS, TELEVISION CITY / LOS ANGELES, 1982-2005.
