Memories and Condolences
for James Slavin
March 19, 2010
Dear Family:
Pam & I were deeply saddened upon learning of your loss. Jim was a mentor for us all at the Elks & Spokane Club both on and off the court. God will certainly remember the many years he faithfully sung the Alleluia for Father Gobel at the early morning mass. Although we're out of town our prayers & thoughts are with you.

To the Slavin family-
Mark and I wish to express our deepest sympathy for your monumental loss. Mark has wonderful memories of Jim both professionally and also from the years of playing handball at the Spokane Club. I did not have the pleasure of knowing him but I was friends with Lori when she and I were in the Hotel business in Seattle. I know how much she cherished her father.
We will keep you in our healing thoughts and prayers.

Jim Jr,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I did not get the chance to meet your Dad, but I know how much he meant to you. Going forward will be tough, but please hold on to the great memories and live life to the fullest as you know he would have wanted. Hugs and strength to you and your entire family.

Dear Joanne, I'm having a little trouble with this because we just visited briefly after the 8 AM mass two weeks ago, and he looked healthy and fit as ever. Jim and I shared many great moments in PNW handball tournaments over the years, and our fraternity and fellowship of handballers will greatly miss his ever present smile and friendship.
