So very sorry on hearing the passing of Jim, played basketball with him at DePaul Academy when we won the Catholic League Championship in 1958. Also, saw him coach many games up at Loyola Academy.
From my family to all of you condolences.
God Bless.

Margie,Kevin,Brian, Mark and Family,
I was saddened when I learned of Jim's passing. I have nothing but fond memories of how Jim lit up the room with that broad smile, twinkling eye and Irish wit. While we mourn his passing, comfort can be taken in that his dear friend Chuck E. has a cold one waiting. God Bless you all.
