Jim was a great friend and classmate both at Notre Dame and Stritch Medical School. No surprise that his career was so remarkable. His warmth and talents will be sorely missed.

Dear Betsy and family,
How saddened we were to hear about Jim.He was an inspiration to so many, and especially in the later years when he forged on(with your loving help)despite the many setbacks he experienced with his condition.
We have so many fond memories of him-many at Cook County, but also as a quick witted, knowledgeable conversationalist with his friends.He will be sorely missed by many but I know he is in the arms of God now and will always be remembered as a great Physician,teacher, humanitarian and human being.
We are unable to make it for the wake and service, but will see you at the Memorial service in Kankakee.
Love, Ken and Jenny Printen

To Dave, Tim, Mary and all of the Kennedys. I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I now know where your family's call to service originated. I hope to see many of you at the Swim Across America event on Saturday.

THE DOCTOR IS OUT!
What sadness and grieving there is...
grandchildren, his clan, his tribe.
All weep at once, smile, rejoice,
laugh embracing gladness, dancing
in the knowledge of where he has gone.
Aware in their faith belief that
he too dances now.
Now,for us who are here for awhile,
yes...
The Doctor is out.
He walks now...runs and jumps...
skips with his ancestors, friends,
the rest of the tribe, more of the clan.
Joined at once with angels and saints,
all those who have preceded
loving him- lighting the welcoming way.
His brother healers who have preceded him,
other dear and glorious physicians,
Paul of Tarcis, and finally
The Greatest Healer of All...
They sing, shout, and give praise
to a life well led.
WELCOME HOME JIM!
THE DOCTOR IS IN!

The Kennedys, I remember Jim- my best friend for so many years. I remember Jim when he was just 'Jim'. I was so proud to know him as he became husband, father and doctor. Thanks, Jim, for being you. Thanks, Betsy and Family for sharing him. All our love to you this day and as much as we can send every other day. That never ends. Stan and Mary

Dear Betsy and family,we just heard that Jim passed away. John thought the world of Jim and had such great admiration for him. A life well lived is an understatement.
Unfortunately we won't be able to attend the wake or the funeral mass as John isn't able to travel but be assured of our thoughts and prayers

Betsy and all your family,
"all others came first." That was Jim's life. Whether it was his family, his patients, his college or med school classmates, his ongoing affiliation with Strich and St. Lucia -- "All others came first."
His love of family and all was always reflected in his activities.
All who cared for Jim knew the meaning of life. Our prayers for Jim and all his loved ones.

Dearest Kennedy family,
Everyone in our family considers it an honor to have become close friends to such a special and gifted man and his family. He was always there to care for and help all of God's people, at home, at the hospital, at Loyola, or in the remote hills of St.Lucia. God love all your family.
