Jim Kennedy was a good man. They don't make them like that anymore. He had the brain of a scientist and the heart of a poet.RIP good man

Lorrie,  I was so  sorry to hear about Jim. He was some guy.  He went through a lot over the last few years. Patients still ask about him. He did so much for many grateful patients over many years. If you want to talk, call me. 9175872420.

Dear Lori,

This news was so very hard. It's been perhaps 40 years since the four of us were together, but those Bellevue years were indelible. The pictures above capture his smile that always seemed to embrace the entire world. He was as the obituary described and so much more. Jane and I are so very sorry and send to you and your family our deepest sympathies.

We first met Jim when he was a senior in college at Manhattan College. I was in law school and Maryann was a senior at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn, which had a social connection with Manhattan. Thereafter we were involved with Jim in the early days of Covenant House. Eventually, Jim became our personal physician. He was always up to date on the latest research. He monitored our medical issues very carefully. At every visit there was a through and unhurried personal conversation in his office, which often extended to the personal. He was the consummate internist and we greatly valued his care.
