James Aldredge

Uncle Jim. I just heard and I´m a loss for words. I had trying to get in touch with him to have our mentor meeting with me at Denny´s on Shaw. He and my dad WalterJones were good friends and went to Edison High and played baseball and football . He always gave me some great advice for moving forward in Life. He will be truly missed. Now he and my dad can have some good conversations.

Mr Jim Aldredge will be missed , as I worked for the City of Fresno too at Fleet Mantinence, as a union representative and got to know Jim very well , in City/union negotiations , for some years , he was very great to talk too with him and the city team . Condolences to his family and Friends friends. Journey well Jim

Jim Aldredge was a inspiration to every day I went to school. I would past his house on Martin Street, across from Franklin elementary school. He help me to believe, that a Black man could achieve in this society. Jim was a living example for me.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear of James passing. I first met James at Kirk Elementary School in 1948. Then we went on to Edison Junior and Senior High Schools. I played with James on the Edison Varsity baseball team from 1953-1956. James was an excellent centerfielder and I enjoyed playing with him very much. He was a very special team mate.

Jim was a long-time friend and mentor. He had a knowing smile that let me know I was on the right track and a laugh that lit up the room. He was always thoughtful, generous, and hardworking - and was a very effective leader working behind the scenes to make our community a better place. Thanks, my friend.

Dr Aldridge was a wonderful professor in colleague while I was working on my Masters in public administration at Fresno State University

Such a nice man and kind to everyone who worked with him.

My time with Jim was though baseball. Later as he climbed the latter of success I stayed in touch with him. He is the greatest human being that I'm proud to say I knew.
