He leaves behind a rich legacy in forming the Chicago Skyline: building the Sears Tower, The Hancock, and 1000 N Lake Shore Drive, just to name a few. He will be missed by so many for his quick wit, heavy sarcasm, and dry humor.

It fills me with great sorrow to hear of the passing of my dear uncle James (Seamus), although I did not get to see him for quite a few years I still have fond memories of him, his beloved wife Sheila and my cousin Tommy, may they all be in a better place, R.I.P.
To Shanna, James and your families, may God give you strength to get through this harrowing time as I know your grandfather/great grandfather was very dear to you all.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh an anam.
