When Dennis Czechanski tried to find Jim Enright, he reached James' wife, Anne. Since Jim cannot be with us, she wanted to share a bit of his memory with us. The following is from her email.
"After graduating St Mel H.S., Jim went on to become an electrician and was the supervising electrician on many commercial projects in downtown Chicago and the Metro area. He eventually started his own electrical contracting company and ran a successful business working with developers and various business owners.
Jim was also a motorcycle enthusiast and avid skier. He was active in the River Shannon Ski Club as the vice president and oversaw many outings and trips. He enjoyed traveling, fishing, ethnic cuisines and loved children and was the "Secret Santa" to many in need.
His kindness, generosity, loving spirit and zest for life will always be remembered by all those he left behind.

He slipped away in peace after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Hope this was not too long. I made a point of the electrical career because he was so proud of it. His employees and business associates were like family. He would never have missed this reunion - and I'm sure he'll be there in spirit. Please keep me posted how it all goes.
Thank you for your kind words - I was thrown backwards emotionally remembering things he did and well it was difficult."
