Jim was such a caring and calm individual. I treasure my time working with him in the Blue Hill Troupe. He will be greatly missed. One of my favorite memories about Jim was when the Troupe had a workspace in the Times Square area. He was working in there when a group of union stagehands came in to try to intimidate us because we were building sets and props in their "territory". He calmly let them know who we were, and we had no problems after that.

All my love to Cornelia and all of Jim´s family.

My sympathies go out to Cornelia and the rest of the family for the loss of a good and strong man, as a Trinity parent from better times, and an admirer of Blue Hill Troupe (and opera, and trains, and organ music). Ave atque Vale.
