One of my favorite teachers and coaches. I will always remember our freshman track team that won the FVA conference championship many years ago. Thank you Jim.

Jim and I taught next door to each other for 30 years. His professional manner was always his trademark. His students benefited in so many ways. Rest well, Jim. Mission accomplished.
