James Lau

For about five years ( over10 years ago) I walked in the morning along Flora St. I became acquainted with Jim by just saying "hello" and sharing bits of information. What a thoughtful, nice person he was!. He always spoke highly of his family and Arlene. One time I told him that I thought of the people who walked in the morning as being a part of my walking club, but people like him, just didn't know they were in "my" club. He was so amused.
