"Dear Wing family, I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jim. I attended grade school and high school with Jim. I have so many memories of the great times and laughs I had with him. His determination after his accident was amazing - he inspired me. I will never forget weekly trips with Pat Grezlik to visit Jim while he was rehabbing at U of M. He truly was a gentle soul and I am sure will be missed by many. Please know that I will keep Jim and your family in my daily prayers - may he rest in peace."
