School Story:

My girlfriend invited me up to meet the family for her Aunt Sharon's birthday party. "You probably know her, she's from San Antonio."
In walked Sharon Criswell. We took one look at each other and simultaneously asked, "What are you doing here?" Early morning swimming party and donuts.
Mrs. Connor had been missing her "diamond" glass paperweight and had been accusing students of taking it. With permission from Mr. Hart (also most of the faculty knew it), we took her hub caps, polished them, and presented them to her in last period. She promptly made us put them back on. She didn't make any more accusations!

I was a member of Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church until sixth grade and knew Jimmy from those years at church and school. Jimmy was always kind and considerate, and I have thought of him over the decades for that quality. I'm very sorry to hear this sad news.

I came to Heights from New England . I was a stranger. Jimmy ALWAYS had a smile and a kind word for me. My high school years were quite hard for me. I appreciated Jimmy’s kindness MORE than I can say. His smile could light up a room! Thank you, Jimmy... thank you. May your family find comfort in knowing what a good and decent man that friendly boy became.

As a member of Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church, I remember Jimmy, his brother Rick and sister Libby. The Irwins were a kind, caring family and Jim certainly carried on that tradition in his life. I am sorry he is gone.

Jimmy led a gracious life of servitude to the United States and mankind. This world suffered a loss with his passing. My wife and I are praying for the family. I appreciated working with Jimmy and Hop on the search committee and visiting face to face with them at the reunion.
