James's son Matt and I were close friends in high school. His dad was a kind, friendly, and caring father. He always had a funny story to tell or hilarious comment to make. He wrote a beautiful story about his first experiences with love which he allowed me to read. My heart goes out to Matt, his little brother and the rest of the family - Love Ivy
