Memorial Service for Jim Blumenthal

[Griffins]

It was certainly a fitting tribute to Jim, and at times felt more like a wedding than a memorial- something that Jim would've wanted.
The stories of Jim's courage as he faced his own mortality were both heartbreaking and inspirational.

That's for sure. So many of us who spoke or interacted with Jim over the last year of his life were unaware of the gravity of his condition or the struggle he had to get through daily life activities. A grand testament to the caliber of man Jim was that he never gave into depression or invited pity from his friends even when he was terminally ill. Talk about grace under pressure.

All the more proof of what a great man and a good friend he was. The more I struggle to wrap my head around this, the more I realize it.

I'm still having a tough time dealing with this. Just an incredible man, someone that I will never forget.

The most moving part for me was Jim's dad's story of the effort Jim made, in a very weakened condition, to get to one last game at Dodger Stadium with his dad and his son Ben. Three generations of Blumenthals. What a gift to Ben.
