When I met James Diamond I knew he was a dedicated father and family man. What a Beautiful Soul he had. Gone to soon. I know he is aside Jesus Christ watching over his family. God Bless his Daughter and fill her with Peace Holy Spirit. 👼🙏💐😭
I had pleasure of knowing you as a friend. The first time I had the pleasure of meeting you. I realized that you and Mary were indeed meant for each other. Many people base friendships on love. Yours and Mary’s were based on both many things. Both love and concern for each other. Besides this you both shared the same feelings for others together too.

My husband Chuck and I became friends with Jim in 1980. We lived at the same apartment complex on Oakton in Des Plaines. Jim lived on the first floor and we lived on the second floor. Chuck and Jim had an instant connection, right away becoming friends. We couldn’t believe we had the same last name Diamond, but not related. Jim was a great guy with a huge smile that brought happiness to all he met. Jim will be truly missed.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. RIP Jim 🙏
Chuck & Eileen Diamond
Jim was a close friend growing up. We would hang out often through grade school and high school and when I moved to California we lost touch. I tried to locate him for years thereafter so I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I had so many questions I wanted to ask him and I still would love to know about his life after high school if anyone can share some of that with me I would be very grateful. Jimmy I missed you for years and now I will continue to miss you. “Rest In Peace” my friend.
Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family, friends, and all those that were touched by his life. Jim and I attended MSW and MS school together. I especially recall fun times in our youth at MSW.
