How can it be that Jim McCullough can't be found in the world now, a world that held him, for me, since 1967? My cup overflows with the abundance of my memories of Jim. I hold these pictures in my mind, brilliant and poignant, of shared adventures together over nearly half
a century. I think of him daily. I hope to honor him by keeping him ever close in my thoughts, and recall the boy, and the man, that burned so bright over the span of a too-short life. I miss you my friend. My love always to the amazing and strong McCullough family in this sorrowful time.

To Sissy, Michael and the McCullough Family:
Our hearts and blessings are with you all at this difficult time. Jim and I were classmates at SHS, and he was always so kind to everyone...and a gentleman, always.
I remember having a flat tire in the SHS parking lot...and while he was always in a 'hurry' to go somewhere...he was kind enough to stop and help change the tire.
Another wonderful classmate gone too soon.
Rest in Peace, Jim.
Sincerely, Katherine (VanLaar) Carmody

My oldest male friend. We met in 7th grade at the Memorial Field on the basketball courts and he let me play with the boys. I was such a tomboy. I grew out of that phase and he would come to my field hockey games at Oak Knoll and cheer for our team....We remained good friends for 50 years. I will miss our chats, his unwavering belief in me and his sense of humor. My prayers go up for Pam, Katie, Anne and his siblings Sissy, Michael and Kate. RIP sweet man. Love, Linda Kenny
