He was one of the very few true friends I had at DCC. I mourn his passing.
I will always remember him

It was a pleasure and honor to know Mr. Brazee. He was always VERY nice to me and I had a lot of fun chatting and laughing with him over many years at his work as a professor at DCC. A very soft spoken man who really cared for the students and those around him. He will be sorely missed.

Ann, I was so saddened to learn of Jim's passing. He was a wonderfully kind and gentle person. We all miss both of you at the Family History Center.

Ann, I'm so sorry. I know you miss him. He was one of my favorite "brothers." I'm thankful to have known him and celebrate his graduation to the next level of his progression.

I was in Mr. Brazee's first electronics class at DCC. I was a poor student, but managed to graduate in 1960. Mr. Brazee suggested, as I was good at English, that technical writing might be an option for me. He was right. I went on to a four-year English degree and a long career with IBM in technical writing. He was a gifted teacher and I will never forget him.

Brother Brazee was one of my Home Teachers when I was a member of the Poughkeepsie Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have been asked to add the name of Sister Estelle C. Weed, who was also a member of the Poughkeepsie Ward.

I felt a need to add a second entry.James was the best proffesor I ever had.He was my insperation to become a college teacher.He always had a kind word for everyone.I was happy to call him my friend for the last fifty years.

I will not be able to attend Jim's service on Saturday and would like to express my sorrow to hear of his passing.
I worked with Jim at DCC for over 35 years and found him to be a true gentleman and an outstanding teacher. I pray for the repose of his soul and for his family for the courage to carry on.
