Dear family.
Please accept my condolences with the passing of Jim. I´ve worked with him for many years at Moraine Valley. Jim hired me as an academic advisor in the early nineties. I remember him as a kind, patient and inspiring leader.
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the visitation.
I wish you much strength during these difficult times.
With deepest sympathy,
Ali Riphagen.

My thoughts a prayers go out to the family of Jim Polo.... Jim and I were colleagues at Morainne Valley community college for 21 years. Everyone who worked there during that time were like family and jim was part of that. I will miss him dearly. He was a great colleague, friend and just an all-around good guy. So sad.......
