Not sure what to say?

Thank you to the family for trusting me and my staff at Wellsville Retirement Community in caring for Jim in his final days. I will always remember him as a gentle and caring man who ALWAYS had a smile whenever I saw him. He and Barb volunteered countless hours assisting our residents over the years which was always appreciated. I personally considered him to be a "living legend" here in Wellsville as I am quite sure many others did also. He will be greatly missed!!

My sympathy to the Wright family. Mr. Wright was my Algebra teacher. Though only 8 years older than me, I respected him highly and realized he had maturity beyond his years. A remarkable man and a gifted teacher. He will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on through the many lives he has touched.

My condolences to your family, I hope your family knows the impact he had on me a many others as well. I often think of the things he would say that still make me laugh and one line that I stole from him and told every kid I ever coached. You gotta be tougher than a boot.... Rest In Peace Coach.
