Diane and family:

I was greatly saddened to hear of Jim's death. This is especially so as Jim was a TKE brother, classmate and a good friend. He was kind enough to allow me to stay with him on my job search in 1979. Also I remember visiting with you and Jim at your house in California for dinner in 1982. I am sorry I never saw him again. He was a great person who will be sorely missed.

Our prayers are with you Diane and your family.

Diane,

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We had so many good times at school and in TKE; he was one of the first friends I made at Villanova. I actually remember the first night he met you, he was very excited. He was a great guy, one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It was great to see him and meet Stephen when they visited Villanova searching for colleges. Jim was a great guy, fraternity brother and friend.

Dear Diane and family:

I will never forget Jim's radiating smile and genuine, positive personality. He was an extraordinary individual and role model. I enjoyed seeing him on Duracell trips, my favorite in Hawaii when sea turtles swam directly under us while scuba diving.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family,
