James was enigmatic personality in a world devoid of creativity and life. His absense has already taken it's toll in our community. I hope he finds peace and comfort in the afterlife and I wish his family all the best in their time of mourning.

To every living soul touched by his lively, engaging, but most of all truly loving spirit, we share in your grief and sorrow. James Bradley Howard was taken from us all much too soon.
Rarely one to pass at the chance to make his presence (and opinions) known, the rich legacy of memories Jim left us is a gift which we can all cherish for the rest of our lives.
