I am saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a couple of years behind me at St Jude Seminary, but I still remember his smile and affable demeanor–the photo above is a perfect image of what I remember, albeit a much younger Jim. I will keep Jim and your family in my prayers. May the Holy Spirit bring solace and peace.
So sorry
My condolences to the many who will miss Jim
