Joyce Richter says
To James’ family and friends, James was a special person whom all of us miss now and into the future. He was one of my favorite students during my last year as an educator. He was kind and caring. He was one of those rare individuals who leave a deep mark on the memories of all who were lucky enough to have known him. I’m so sorry his candle burned bright for such a short span of time. James you were one of a kind and your life will not be forgotten. And you would have made a great educator.
