My most sincere condolences. I was a Student of Jim’s in the Junior Achievement program at Frederick Douglass Sr. high in from 1980-1982. Great man who I remember fondly. He made a huge impact on my life. Looking back, he gave of himself and his time like few do. His family should be extremely proud of his service to his community. So many children are so much better off because of the work he did. I’m going through a box of my papers, awards and companies documents and searched to see if I could thank him. Sadly I am a few years too late. I will always have find thoughts of Jim
