I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH JIM AND MY CHILDREN AND I WERE PATIENTS OF HIS. HIS CLASSMATES ARE SADDENED BY HIS DEATH.

I was a patient of Jim's for 28 years. He was not just my Dentist but was a friend. I saw him only 6 weeks or so ago and he was just as happy and jovial and fun loving and joking around as he always did. I always loved going to the Dentist because it was just a fun loving outing.

It is with sincere sympathy and deep loss that I extend my thoughts and prayers to entire Dr. Demetry Family. Jim was so happy of his two new grandchildren and looked forward to seeing them everyday after work. He loved his entire family and were so proud of all his children.

Our World is a better place for having him touch us with his life. I will miss him very much and feel your loss. My deepest regrets on not being able to come to the Funeral.

Sincerely,

Janet Rosdahl

I was a patient of Dr. Demetry's when he practiced on Belmont Avenue. His love for dentistry became an inspiration to me as a teen, and motivated me to select Dentistry as a career. I graduated from Loyola Dental School in 1980, and have been enjoying my profession each day since! Dr. Demetry will be missed by many. To his family, I offer my deepest condolences, and I am thankful that he was such an integral part in my life.
