It was an honor to call Jim my friend. He was the kindest, most good-hearted person you could ever hope to meet. I first met Jim in 1983 at Far Brook School. I was the nerdy, shy new kid but he went out of his way to welcome and befriend me. That was just how he was. And what a sense of humor! He was one of those guys who could make you laugh so hard you couldn’t breathe. He also had absolutely impeccable taste-- if he liked something, a book, movie or rock and roll band, you knew it was cool. My deepest condolences go out to Mrs. Wels and Kristina. Jim was a true inspiration to everyone lucky enough to make his acquaintance.
