Regret to inform all of those HC backers who go back to the 70's and everyone here of course that (my classmate) Jim Schnurr passed away from complications of his paralysis last Saturday in Fairfield, Ct, where he was residing in a rehabilitation facility. As many of us know, Jim was in a terrible bicycle accident at his winter home in Florida in April 2016. Jim was an accomplished accountant and attained partner status at Deloitte and was the chief accountant at the SEC in Washington, D.C. at the time of his accident. Please pray for his wife Chris and his children and grandchildren.

Just a terrific, unassuming guy. R.I.P., Jim.

Knew Jim from his High school days at St.Francis Prep in Brooklyn. A wonderful adolescent, a finer man. A solid player who should be in the Hall of Fame with his rebounding (10.6, #8 All time, and scoring.(15.2, 1172 total in 3 years. 51% fg, #9 all time, #3 for non centers). One of a few who had career double doubles. Maybe still will be.inducted. He was recruited by Mr. Dick Maloney, as were most NY Metro players of that era.who came to HC. Had the opportunity to coach his son, Jim Jr at George Blaney’s basketball camp. Also a high character person. requiescat in pace.

As I wrote in the Glenn Grieco thread, the older deserving candidates for the Hall of Fame should be prioritized so that they can be present for their honor. Too late for Jim. How many voters never saw Jim play ? If any/many, he was at a significant disadvantage.

I agree 100% about giving priority to older alums. Might we take a page from the Baseball HoF and m are sure there is one such player admitted each year?

Agree Jim Schnurr should be in Hall of Fame had much better career stats than many who are already in, it's also time that Jave Meade and Torey Thomas get in.

A steady and solid presence during tumultuous times. Certainly deserves hall of fame consideration.
