Jim, a devoted husband and father

From the O'Donnell Family (friend's of Jim and Chris'):

Our family, the O'Donnells, were lucky enough to meet Jim and Chris when Caroline, our daughter, and Dana, their younger daughter, went to school together at the Bedford Mother's Club.  Chris and I became fast friends as did our girls. 

We had the family over for dinner several times and swam at our pool and enjoyed just all being together...my one memory that i will share is the 'Baby Ruth' episode.  We were all out by the pool enjoying our steak tips and the kids were swimming in the pool....as a joke, I decided to throw a Baby Ruth into the pool, "Caddyshack" style, to see what the reaction of our kids would be.  Well, the adults could not stop laughing at my silly practical joke and what I will remember most is Jim laughing with Chris and just having fun that summer afternoon with his girls. 

Oh, he will be missed by those of us that were lucky enough to have known him for such a short period of time.  the weather outside today is pouring and i feel as though it's GOD getting ready to open heaven's gates to let Jim in.  We love you, Ehrlich family, and may God bless you in this difficult time. 

Laura, Paul, Jack and Caroline O'Donnell
