I know this is a long time coming but I was dealing with a loss of my own at the time. Only now, have I found an avenue to express my sadness for your loss!
James was a friend! Always a great man to visit with…in the middle of the street…!
Our kids remember him as “our audio guy” at school functions.Then as they grew, just James…the neighbor…
We Miss him!
Stay Strong!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I was just thinking of old school friends and James popped up in my mind. I was actually really moved by a great pianist and thought of James and how amazing he was all those years ago. I did search for James and I came across this. So sorry . James will always be remembered fondly.
