I was so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a great stagehand and he showed me a lot not only when I worked with him at the old Schubert Theatre but also when he was over at the Lyric Opera House and when he was the Head Carpenter at the Arie Crown Theatre. I was proud to be his flyman at that house when he took over. He left a great legacy as a local 2 working man. I'm also sorry I wasn't able to express my condolences in person, as I was traveling when I got the news. Peace to his family.

I worked a long time with Jim,starting out when I was 18. He could be very tough on his subordinates but he also had a gentle side that I dont think a lot of guys got to see. I definitely learned a lot from Jim. My condolences to the entire Kiddle family for your loss.
