My deepest sympathy to the family of James Prendiville. I just stumbled accross the notice in the Trib. yesterday. You don't know me, my name is David Ebert. We lived next door to the Prendiville's on Mason ave. in Chicago and played with James, ( Jimmy as we knew him), and Eileen when we were little kids. We moved to Des Plaines in 1945 when I was about 4 1/2. Whenever my sister, (Eunice), and I would reminisce about our days on Mason Ave. invariably Jimmy and Eileen's name would come up. We often wondered what ever happened to them. Eunice and I have many fond memories of Mason Ave. Would love to hear from Eileen if she remembers us. Again my sympathy to the James Prendiville family.



Sincerely,



David Ebert

Sorry for your family's loss John. All I can say is, if you're a chip off the old block, your Dad must have been quite amazing... take care and see you soon.
