  1. Such sad news about James’ passing. I got to know him through Denise and we would meet at a local park and talk. He was wonderfully creative and I always admired his photography and art. Prayers for his soul and strength to Denise and the family who will miss his enthusiasm for life that was always one of his hallmarks.
