James Kastberg Memoriam

My dear friend of 50 years, James Kastberg passed on June 6th. James was a Broadway Baby like me and he loved his city of Chicago as much as the music of Kander & Ebb. Even after losing both of his legs he found a way to continue his attending any musical nearby. We will miss him but I know he is singing along somewhere. If you knew James, please feel free to leave a message.

I will never forget the Unicycle that Uncle Jimmy brought me when I was little. He challenged me to learn to ride it before he came back again. I tried and tried for months until I could ride that thing the length of the sidewalk in front of our house. He was so full of life, love and smiles. After my mother Virginia passed when she was 47 we lost contact with Jimmy. No one liked my father for good reasons so at that point they stopped communicating with him. It was years later that I was able to find Jimmy and connect with him. He will be forever missed. Keep singing Uncle Jimmy! Colleen
