So sad to hear this news. First Mike Buchta and now Jimmy O'Kane. We have lost two great men from Holy Name Class of 1978 in a matter of weeks. My heart goes out to Barb, Micke, Kris, Joe, Kathy and and Maureen. I had so many fun times with Jim back in the day-- camping in Colorado in 1977, staying with the O'Kane family at there vacation spot on the Missouri River, or partying at Lake James Park with Jimmy and the rest of the '78 crew. Miss you Toad.

To the O'Kane family, Jim and I are very sorry for your loss. While it has been a long time since we've seen Jim, we have many great memories of times spent with Anne and him. With deepest condolences, Jim and Marcia Meredith
