He was a dear friend to me. He was always inspired and inspiring. His wit, optimism, and kindness was a great gift to me over the fourty plus years that I knew him. I will always be grateful for him. My sympathy to all his beloved family, I know how much you'll miss him. We all will miss him. His light will always be with us.

Jim served as my mentor while student teaching at Cleveland High School in 1984. He helped me become a teacher by being supportive and critical. I just finished my teaching career a week ago, but I never would have been a teacher without Jim.

Jim was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He was a good co-host even when extremely busy or going through grief. He was a great man who influenced the course of history. He was from the same town I spent time in as a child, Wolfeboro, NH, which was a bond we shared. My deepest sympathies with Mary G. and entire family.
