Dear Mrs. Enright and family,
Dad (Harry Hoffman) and I just found out this news a few days ago (it's Jan. 19). We would have been there in December had we known. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Some of my fondest work memories are from my years at the Chicago U of I campus and the paint crew and when Jim was Foreman. I know he had a great influence in my Dad's life because he still shares stories to this day of his years there with Jim. I'm saddened by this news, and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Mrs Enright and the Enright Family, I offer our sincere condolences on the death of your Husband and Father. I will always remember Mr Enright's kindness and sense of humor. He had many funny stories that he shared with me in the mornings I rode with him downtown. I remember many of them to this day. I will always remember him as a kind and great guy. With warmest regards, Paul Chibe and Family, St. Louis, MO
