Mary Louis, Clare and family,
We were so saddened to learn of Jim's passing. He was so many things to so many people! To Me, He was a wonderful Teacher, with a flair for the "dramatic pause" and penchant for getting the best out of even the hardest-headed students! He was a friend to my family and a person whom I very much admired. He would often challenge me to make sure I was living up to my full potential because he truly cared. That's one of the things that made him so special; that's the way Jim was with everyone! He was generous to a fault and he saw the best in people even when they didn't see it themselves. If his life goal was to leave this place better than he found it, I'd like to think that I'm one of the very small pieces of proof that he did. I will truly miss him and He was and always will be an inspiration to me and a treasure to our family. Our sincerest and deepest condolences to you and your family.
David & Tammy Michaels
