Condolences
Click here to leave a condolenceMy deepest condolences to Jim's family. At 9 years old, I began my Judo training at the YMCA around 1963, with Sensei Linnane as the main teacher. He was a wonderful man and very influential in my life.
- Cliff Collins, Thursday November 18th, 2021Jim was a second father to many of us. I too was in the Jr. Leaders Program under Jim’s direction. When my father passed when I was just 12, Jim was the very 1st person that I called. His life lesions will remain with me until my last breath upon this earth. My favorite Linnane quote was: “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” Jim, you will live in our hearts, minds, and souls forever. God speed my dear friend, Bobby Baker
- Robert “Bobby” Q. Baker, Tuesday October 5th, 2021My deepest sympathy for all who knew and loved Uncle Jim. He had many accomplishments and lived a wonderful life.

- Don, Speakman, Friday October 1st, 2021Jim was like a second father to me. He recruited me in 6th grade to join the Junior Leaders club which I was part of until I graduated high school.
