Our condolences, so sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a great guy.
RIP JIM
THE McIntyre family
Our sympathy and special prayers for Jim and all his family and friends.
I had the extreme pleasure to work alongside Jim in 018. He was always mild-mannered and dedicated to his profession, yet enjoyed some humor along the way. Thank you for your service as a United State Marine along with your friendship, “on da’ job” over the years. May the great God now invite you into His open arms for your ultimate, “Welcome Home.” Rest in peace our brother.
Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains. Jim will be remembered at the next Police Mass.
In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God! [Police Chaplains Ministry: http://www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]
Worked with Jimmy in 014 and 018 what a great guy , remember being at his 40th bday party.God bless this brave Marine and CPD officer
May I extend sincere condolences to Jim’s family and friends in his passing.
We recently heard of this via the recent passing of another alumnus (viz. Mike Burke) of St. Mel High School–class of 1969. There’s an indefinable comradeship among Melman which oddly endures among us. And as a fellow military veteran, I salute you, Jim. May you rest in peace.
