James Howard Celestino

My prayers and thoughts are with you. Paul Sirstins St. Olaf

James was not only a wonderful colleague, but a dear friend. I enjoyed his parties and playing Bocce ball, and also the many long conversations and insights he shared with me about teaching and creative writing. He will be very missed. My deepest sympathies! Andie

this caught me way off guard when I found out this had happened. He was a great professor and will be missed. Rest In Peace James

I am deeply saddened! My family and I are keeping your family in our prayers. God bless!

I am so very sorry for your loss. Jaime was one of my favorite cousins when we were young, and I was sad to have lost touch with him over the years. I am sorry not to be able to get there for the service. He will be in my thoughts. With deep sympathy, Kym (Raymond) Hough

We are so sorry for your loss. As he was my cousin, he was a senior at Hoover High & I was a sophomore, we thought it was really cool that we had family at the same school. Whenever we saw each other in the hallway, we would always hug each other. He will be deeply missed. Sending love to all his family.

Dear Christine and family, We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of Jamie, I pray for peace and comfort during this time �� love, The Ausherman family.

Dear Christine & family, we pray God gives you comfort in the loss of Jamie. We will miss him. Love, Uncle Chuck & Aunt Carla & family

I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of James. May your suffering be eased by knowing how much he loved you and in the spaced he created.

James was a wonderful professor and colleague. To me, he exemplified everything left of the wild west that exists in America today. He was inspirational, kind, and made you feel like your ideas had value, no matter how crazy they seemed. I’ll miss him very much.
