Jimmy and I had great times together both socially and masonically. He was a dear friend and he is greatly missed.

My Man!!! I speak of you frequently with other retiree's and active members as an example of professional excellence... in fact I have spoken to your son in detail! Our dinners at Ruth's Chris, sharing 'mid-year' in the Masonic Lodge, the Consistory, 32nd and 33rd Degree Masons. Shriner events, your attendance at our ( Chicago Westside Police Association ) Rib Fest, and frequently blessing dinner at our annual Dinner Dance, and our valued personal conversations. You were a blessing and a favored direction. I wish we had more time! God bless you "JW'!!!

I still think about you often! You are missed!

This is always a tough day , Miss you big fella. God bless you and the family. KC

I miss you. I miss our dinners out at the Chop House, Greek Town & get togethers in Hyde Park for music and cocktails! I learned so much hanging out with you and the Chicago Ratpack!

I was privileged to have shared many memories of being with my friend and brother Jimmy. May you continue to rest in heaven my brother.

I learned so much from you when we worked on the new police station construction! As our liaison to the police operations and approvals, I learned to successfully navigate the government "red tape"! Thank you I, we miss you !

E was a great friend, student and Masonic Brother. He is missed.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I love you , sleep peacefully my angel ,

My condolences to the family and friends. May you find comfort in knowing that God now has him in his hands.

Jimmy and I worked together on the new police facilities. I learned so much from him. May God bless your family and comfort them.

"J.W". was a fabulous friend and a great mentor! A hard worker of many esteemed accomplishments. I thank God for the blessings passed through this man onto a multitude of people from near and far.

Always thought I would somehow see Jim Whigham again after his retirement in March. What a terrible blow that this didn't happen! He made such a difference to almost anyone in his path. May God comfort all his friends and family and let them take comfort to know that Jim is now most likely a chief commander in His Army.
