As a former employee of Hertel it was always a pleasure to see his smiling face & his laugh. Kathy / Christina & the Dean family you are in my prayers at this time.
Jim was a classmate at St. Patrick's and a friend and neighbor. I have many great memories of Jim and my cousin, John O'Donnell playing cards in our home with my Dad on Lombard St. He was the best and there is a real ache in my heart with his death. My sympathy for your loss. A good husband and father is a real treasure and he will always be in your heart. God Bless.
It was a destinct pleaure to know Jim for over 50 yrs. El is my friend of 73 yrs. A kind, gentle soul, who wass beyond generous. My sincere sympathy to his daughters and their families. We will miss his presence. The saints are sure happy they have him now.

I had the pleasure of working for your Dad at Paul Hertel and Company. He was one of the kindest gentle man I knew. God Bless his soul and may he rest in peace. Barbara Chun Philadelphia, Pa.
I knew Jim primarily through my cousins Dot, Alma and Marlene, and they spoke so highly of him that I felt I knew him by association. I met him from time to time at social events and always was impressed by what a kind man he was. He was the epitome of a gentleman who was a gentle man as well. he will be fondly remembered by many.
Kathy, Chris and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. He was one of the best people I have ever Known. I wish I could make it to the viewing but it is almost an hour and a half from where I live and I just found out when it is.; I could not make it in time.

Kathy, Chris, and Family,
My heart is heavy that a dear, dear man is no longer here to bring joy to so many! Spending time with "Jim and Eleanor" was always something I looked forward to when I would be visiting my sister, Alma, in Delaware. Even had the pleasure of meeting Jim, Eleanor, and their beautiful grandchildren for a lunch date several years ago. Since living in Minnesota for over thirty years, it was always a highlight for me to connect with our good, good friends from the old Philly neighborhood. Jim was a gentle and kind man beyond belief. May he rest in peace and feel God's love and reward for a life well lived!!!!
