To Jim's family,



I took glass classes with Jim for the last 5 years and always appreciated his care and company. He will be missed.

To Jim's family: I spent three years learning glass from Jim at the CS&AG studio, and recall his lessons fondly, whether about glass, life, community -- and I am thankful for the things he was able to share. He'll be surely missed by many.

To Jim's family,



I took classes from Jim at Chicago Stained and Art Glass. Last night I was saddened to hear of his passing. I learned a lot from Jim. My sympathies to the family and to Runaway.

To the family of Jim Beecroft,

You have my deepest sympathy. I went to Norman Bridge Elementary School with Jim and recently visited him at his stained glass shop the year of our 41st reunion.
