Dr. Jim Suel, age 64 of St. Paul, passed away on April 26 surrounded by family. Jim graduated from Shakopee High School in 1977, and earned an accounting degree from St. John's University in 1982. After working as a CPA for several years, Jim pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. He was humbled to be chosen by his U of MN Medical School 2001 classmates as their class president. Jim absolutely loved his career as an emergency room physician. He also enjoyed skiing, travel, conversation... and a good cigar! Jim's bright smile, humor, and generosity will be missed greatly. Survived by brothers Bill Suel and Charlie Suel; sisters Mary Pat Suel, Kelly (Dan) Bishop, and Maura ('Momo') Suel; and many nieces and nephews.
