I was surprised and saddened to hear about Jim. Jim, Conrad Calvano and I had a wonderful time at Pitt while in the band and studying electrical engineering together. When we all made it back for the band alumni games we told some stories - fond memories. I will keep him in my prayers, may God have mercy on his soul and help your family through your grief.

Norma ... we were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Many good memories. We are currently in Florida or we certainly would have been with you.

Jim was a great addition to our Pomerado Community Band Trumpet section. We will miss his annual visits and please extend condolences to his family.

Our thoughts and prayers for all of your family.

James is a very real part of my recollections - rehearsals, games, and alumni events - a particular kindness. So proud to have served in the PITT Band with him.

Sincerely,

Ralph and Barbara Wirth

Dear Susan, thinking of you and your family through this difficult time. Remember the great memories you had with your Dad to take you through this.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We have such good memories of him--especially our trip to Amsterdam. A lot of good lunchtime walks while at Otis. God Bless, Frank & Ruth Kiczuk

To Norma and family:

Thinking of you all during this time of loss. Reading Jim's obit I can see that he was a very accomplished, loving, and spiritual man who surely enriched your lives and the lives of many others.

Norma - I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a true gem. Peace and consolation to you.

I knew Jim from the Pitt Band and always enjoyed him as a band member and person. My condolences to his family.

So sorry to learn of Jim's passing. He was Section Leader in Fall of 1960 with the Pitt Varsity Marching Band under "Ace". We both were freshmen in the fall of 1957, but Jim was a real trumpet player and I was a 2nd cornet player. He epitomized what a leader should be. He'll be sorely missed by you all, and everyone who knew him. He left too soon!

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing I spent 4 years in the Pitt Band with Jim and along with Jim Sczepanski we were great friends. Looked forward to seeing him when we showed up together for Alumni Band Day. Will keep your family in our prayers.

Conrad " Cal" Calvano

We have lost a great family icon. Aunt Norma, our prayers are with you and family. May he rest in peace. There are just no words to describe our loss. My dad is now again with his brother.
