It was sad to read about Big Riffle as I called him. I met James in November of 1981 at Ricter Elementery in Dayton. He was my first friend after moving to Dayton ISD. I met him on the play ground during lunch break. He was alway a good friend he and I were the Big boys on campus. I remember him from 7th grade football. Last time I saw him was in the Baytown Autozone around 2004 I was working he was home on vacation and working on someones car. I wish his family,and especially whom I knew Henry Riffle and their sister (my sister Patty Hilton's friend )the best and our prayers are with you. I was able to meet James"s mom at one of James's birthday parties I will miss James as a friend even though I have not see him much after he left school. It was good to see him in Autozone when I was working. Time distance did not change our friendship.
