I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed his art class very much when I was a student at J. W. Bailey Junior High. I was one of his students that came after classes for model aircraft building.

Sorry to hear that a fellow Modelmaster has passed. My regards to his family. I have never met James myself but his cartoons for the Modelmasters News Letters will live on. I am the current editor and love all of his cartoons. They still continue and will always bring joy to everyone that sees them.

I was in Mr. Kaman's art class in the early 80's at Bailey. He was a wonderful teacher and a kind man. My friends and I had so much fun in that class. I am very sorry to the family for their loss.

The BEST Art teacher ever!! I thought of him often. I have, by no means, grown to be an artist, but his lessons on life, as well as art, are the ones I remember. So sorry for the loss.

Mrs. Kaman, Liz, Ruth, Jen and family...it seems like only yesterday that we would all be over at the Kaman house playing in the backyard or the basement. The "Hurley Girls" were always welcomed and treated with love and respect by you and your husband. Some of us were just remembering those times last weekend. Thank you for all the memories growing up, raising amazing daughters and for allowing us to celebrate Mr. Kaman's life as a teacher, artist, neighborhood dad, and friend. Phillipians...
