Jim and Mary Ann were good friends and we have shared many great times together. The thing that I remember most about Jim was his smile and his upbeat personality. He so adored Mary Ann and we had several telephone calls during her illness. We will miss them both.

Jim personified all the best traits of a Kappa Sigma brother. He was always a strong supporter of the College of William & Mary. I was proud to have been his friend and fraternity brother.
