Not sure what to say?

It is with overwhelming heart-ache that I attempt to find words. James is just gone from us, far too soon. I know Jaime from doing theatre and attending Point Park together in the '70's. We shared a friendship then, and had joyously re-connected last year. It is difficult to come to terms with losing him again. I am grateful to have danced and performed with Jaime. His dance style was like Gene Kelly's: light, smooth, and elegant. A group of us had a lot of fun times together....

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a dance student of his at Rodgers. He used to get angry with me because I used to mess around in his class, I'm not the dancing type lol. But we worked well together on performances. I graduated Rodgers in 81 and still to day I still hold Mr Wright with the highest regards. He was a great man.

My deepest condolences and sympathy to you

So sad to hear of the passing of Jamie...we worked in theatre together back in the 70's and had so much fun together. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Diane, So sorry to hear of your loss. I was unaware until I saw the posting tonight on FB. May his memories be a blessing.

My deepEST sympathy. Had the pleasure of working with James at Mifflin. Great sense of humor and supportive of his staff. May he rest in peace.
