To the Boutet Family, My prayers are with you all these days. Jim was a wonderful man, and I enjoyed visiting with him at my Dad's 80 birthday party. I also remember the family reunions we used to have years ago when I was a child, the fun we had, the singing of "Allouette"!!! He is going to missed by many. I know from my Dad what a kind and caring person he was, and he will be in my thoughts always. May God be with your family, and know that he is in a better place than we are, and God is smiling at him this very day. Chris Benner

St Thomas Aquinas Grade School had 2 rooms for each grade. For
8 yrs you were either in "our"
room or the "other" room. We were in the same room from `36 to `44. We were all in the high
school club at STA but lost contact until 1994 when Jim was
MC at our 50th reunion. We used
to hear himon WIND an WGN and I
believe WTMJ Milwaukee.
We`ll remember him in our prayers

Jane, Betsy & Simmie,
I think such pleasant thoughts when I remember all the happy times we had with you and Jim. From the trips to the far South Side to visit Chalifoux, Jordans, and Dignans...especially all singing around a piano...to our later "swell" journeys to Ravinia.
What lovely family traditions!
