Sidney:

I am so sorry to hear about Jim's death. In addition to our work together at St. John's Jima and I had the opportunity to share services on more than one occasion. My favorite, however, is that, at the last minute, Jim was able to fill in at Christ Church, Kent, when he play for my daughter's wedding. For that he had my undying gratitude. I always enjoy my time with him, and he will be missed.

Mr. Storry was the choir director at Nordonia when I was in High School. He directed the chorus for the drams productions I was involved in. I reconnected, as an adult, because I joined St. John's and met Sidney. I never became comfortable calling him Jim, even though he gave me permission multiple times. I will miss knowing him.
