We tried several times over the past few years to reunite and grab lunch together. I had no idea this would happen.
James was new to Fayetteville in 1999 and City Director of KMC Telecom. He took a chance on a green horn like me and I worked hard to make sure he didn´t regret it. He was a great boss and a better friend. I can still see him rubbing his hands together and shaking his head while saying "Mr. Dawkins, there isn´t anything you can´t do, if you want it bad enough". My heart goes out to his family. James was a no nonsense boss, but he would have your back when it counted. James would always light up talking about his family. He was a proud papa of 2 beautiful kids.
The KMC Family is sad tonight!!!
Sincerely
David Dawkins
