James Paul Frey

Dear Carol and Jim Jr.~
In high school, at Lincoln, I knew Jim for his good humor and entertaining fake forward falls, appearing to trip over his feet, that would make us react with, "Oh, no!" and then we'd laugh at his adeptness in recovering. Every time he did it, he faked me out.
He was quiet and seemed to be watching life unfold-a doer, not a talker. I knew him through basketball and his friendship with Don Whitecar, another one of the good guys.
I spoke with Jim when reunion planning in 2004. He sounded very content.
I am sad for your loss and grateful for your having a fine man like Jim in your life.
I pray God blesses you with fond memories.

Sincerely,
Jan, Lincoln High School class of '66.

A great guy, even back in high school! Sorry to read of his passing.

I had the privilege of knowing Jim when I was just a lineman trainee at east 24 service center cleveland ohio ,he was one of my instructors then ,very helpfull& encouraging to everyone, I also worked for him as a lineman at Solon oh. Service center. Jim was a great guy and because of him I can say I retired after 28years in 2013. If not for guys like him I wouldn't have made it thru line school. Thanks Jim.

I worked with Jim at The Illuminating Company. He looks the same as he did way back then. I remember him as one of the kindest people I knew. RIP Jim and condolences to the family. Sounds like he was the best in everything he did!

I work for Jim outstanding person to work with and know.

I worked with Jim in the HR department at the Illuminating Company where Jim was the Safety Representative for our Operations group. Jim was always kind and friendly to everyone he talked with. He was sensitive and wore his heart on his sleeve. Jim was a good friend. My deepest sympathy to his family and may he Rest In Peace

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Thank you for your brave service to our country ! God bless
