This is very late to be posting something here, but I was very sad to hear of James' untimely passing. He was a most gentle and kind person, and he was also one of the smartest people I had the privilege of knowing when I was a classmate of his at Trumbull High School. I developed a liking for classical music because of him. He was an original thinker who made his own path and I always admired him for that.

Last night, as I was leaving the Trumbull Public Library, I ran into a local friend who told me about James' passing. This came as a total shock because just a few weeks ago he was in my family's real estate office, and we had a nice conversation about people and things both past and present.

The world will be a bit darker without him in it.
