We are very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We just found out. We live near Peoria now. We have wonderful memories of working with Jim and you, Kristine, registering and organizing for the WWME weekends. We have joined our closest community which is in Springfield, Illinois. With the Covid 19 pandemic we don't get back to the Chicagoland WWME activities. We will make a donation to Chicagoland WWME in Jim's name. We really appreciated all of Jim's and your hard work. We are sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

Dear McCulloch Family, We are so sorry for your loss. We met Dr. McCulloch on July 3, 1981when he was the attending physician at the birth of our older daughter. He became our family doctor & remained so until he retired. We could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate doctor who really listened and never dismissed our concerns. There was no doctor who could replace his kindnesses. The Breisblatt Family

What a loss! Dr. McCulloch was my physician for years and he was the absolute best! He spent so much time with me that it felt like I was his only patient. He was calm, caring, and an excellent listener. I was so sad when he retired, but happy that he would have time to enjoy life. My heart goes out to the McCulloch family.

Dear McCulloch,My family lived next door to Jim's parents and remember Jim when he was a kid. I now live about four blocks from that house and walk by often. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kris, my deepest sympathies. I was shocked to see his obituary in yesterday's newspaper. I will always remember how the two of you came to our rescue when Elaine needed intravenous medications. Further, I remember your gracious hosting of the ME community gatherings and Jim's assistance in getting Elaine up and down the steps of your house. The ME gatherings were fond memories for Elaine and me. Know that Jim and you will be in my prayers.May God hold you in his arms during this difficult time.
