Eldean Enderson says
I thoroughly enjoyed being JIm’s special education teacher at Glencoe High School. He was such a kind and willing student. I remember being his coach in Special Olympics and Jim competing at such a high level at state in the mile run which gave him the opportunity to go to the nationals. He was so excited, and I believe it was a great experience for him. I will remember him fondly!
Anne Fahey says
Thank you Eldean! Thank you for all the things you taught him. He was so fortunate to have you as a teacher and coach!
Sincerely,
Anne Fahey

Jim used to come over to the house and play chess. Always a smile and a great laugh.
He was a gentle soul.

Growing up, Jim played a lot of foosball and bowling with me and the buds at the Pla-mor in Glencoe and also poker, which was always very interesting.
Great guy and great friend.
