Had no idea that Jim had past. Jo I send my condolences. I have many fond memories working with you and Jim at all those events, especially at College Capers and you and Jim performing "I Remember it Well."

He was a wonderful French Teacher! Made learning the language fun, not only for me, but for others who had him for Spanish! He will be sorely missed. God Bless!!

Jo and Family,
So sorry to hear about Jim. You were great friends to my parents and I always enjoyed being in your company. I especially remember the trip we took together to Paris in 1984. Our first foray overseas. Who would have known at the time that I would then later get to live in Europe for 9 years. Take care always.

I was saddened initially when I learned of Jim's passing. But then began to think of the fun times, especially on stage, that we had at NVRHS.
Jo and family, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
