Your dad was one of the kindest, gentlest men. I teach at JFK and missed him greatly after he retired. His care and concern for our school children was genuine and deep. It was always wonderful to visit with him. Jim will forever be in my heart and a large part of the spirit of JFK.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad and pray that God will quickly bring you comfort and leave you with only the wonderful memories. You may not remember me as it is a while since I have seen you. I knew your parents through your Aunt Betty. Just know that I will be praying for you and your family.
