Laurie Amdur wrote a sympathy message

“I was very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I was fortunate enough to have known him at Kennedy H.S. I always saw Jim as a dignified, warm, intelligent, kind, gentle man. He always had a smile and a warm greeting for you whether you were sitting with him in the cafeteria or just in passing in the hallways. May your memories of him ease the pain of his loss. Keeping him in your hearts will keep him with you always.”

Dennis Seuling wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Jim Pruitt, a true gentleman and mentor. When I took on the role of College Advisor, Jim was generous with his advice based on experience in the role. He was always available in my first few months on the job to answer questions and offer suggestions. Jim had a wry sense of humor and a look that spoke volumes when he observed pettiness. He was a champion for Kennedy's students and a great role model. Jim Pruitt was a class act! Dennis Seuling”
