Re: James V. Crow

HI Steve,

I echo you thoughts. I just got off the phone with Linda and was going to post the following:

Gents,

Jim's daughter Linda called me earlier this evening to advise me that Jim passed away last Friday, May 3 due to a heart attack. He was 79 and passed away at Linda's home.

This is a huge loss for many of us who have had the benefit of working with Jim and the honour of having him as a friend. Jim was unselfish in his sharing of Luftwaffe and related photos from his collection that be began building in the 1960s.

His funeral will be on Friday May 17, buried with full military honours at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood IL, just outside Joliet IL. His obituary will be in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, May 12.

Rest in peace Jim - you will be missed.

David
