James (Fred) and I go back to grade school at St. Michael's. We were in Scouts together and I have many fond memories. I moved out of the Canton area many years ago, but when I would come back to visit I would always seem to run into Jim at St. Michael's or when I played golf at Glenmoor. He always had a smile on his face, and it was a joy to see him. Prayers for the family.
