Not sure what to say?

I'll never forget the kindness he bestowed upon me. He was such a gentle spirit and loving soul. I thought alot of him over the years. I'm a better man for knowing him. May you rest in peace and rise in glory "Granddad". My most deepest heartfelt condolences to the family. Justin, Shannon, Joy, I am so so sorry. May you all be comforted with a supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding. An abundance of love and light to all.

We only met James in person once, at the Varsity a few years back, but we spoke on the phone many times. He worked with my father, George Allen at the Fulton Co Board of Education in the 70's and 80's. We will miss him. May God bless the family and he rest in peace.
