James Dages Obituary

Dear Mrs. Dages,
I wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. The deep, loving bonds of your family have been evident to me since I first met Moira in college. You and Mr. Dages have set a beautiful example for all who have come in contact with you. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. With love, Amy Speed

Mrs. Dages, we are so sorry for your loss. My parents taught me the value of family, and I have met few families who similarly value such relationships. However, I have always been amazed at the closeness of your family, the respect your children have had for you and Jim, and the love they show for one another. It is clear that you two provided them with this gift and I know they are passing this on to their own children. This is not a small thing in this materialistic, self-focused world. Just know that others have realized all that you and Jim have built and how you two continue to influence not only your family, but those who have had the privilege of knowing the Dages. Peace.

Dear Dages Family, I would like to thank you all for sharing your dad with me. From the first day I met him standing in the lobby of Southgate dorm 30.5 years ago in Durham North Carolina, I realized how blessed I was/am that our paths crossed. He and mom Dages created an atmosphere where all are included and love flows freely - all the way to Texas! Your legacy lives on in so many. God has blessed me by knowing him and being part of your family. Please accept my condolences and my love. Andree

Dear Judy and family, So sorry to hear about Jim. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Diane Gavin

Judy Sorry to hear about Jim. It has been a long time since the St Kilian Young Peoples Club in the late 1950's. Lost Dave Murray last year and Harry Andrasco previously.

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that James is now at peace.

Emmet. So sorry to hear about your dad, he was such a nice man. You were lucky.

I think back fondly on all the days back at 80th st. and 80th pl. and with Mr. Dages. Those days in Dawes Park were the best. Growing up in Little Flower Parish across the alley from the Dages always brings back fond memories. We were insepararable with Kevin, Kathy, Timmy Emmet and Maura. I miss it.

To dear Judy and kids/ grand kids- So sorry to hear of Jim's death. We remember him fondly as such a sweet and fun guy. You made a wonderful couple and such a great family. Thanks to Terry, and now Mike we get some news of the "cousins". Moving far away has it' drawbacks- losing touch the worst. Prayers for all of you. Love, Peg & George

Our prayers are with you all. We have many wonderful memories of Bida cheering at the vb games.
Love, The Ross Family, Boca Raton, FL

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
