Comstock HS Teacher & Coach - 1980-2015

Jim was my colleague but most of all my good friend. We spent many happy hours in and out of school. When thinking of Jim, I think about what was most important to him. Family came first: Luanne, Lewis, Megan, his brother and sisters, their families and the influence of his mother and father. His faith, school and athletics were also very important. Jim was an outstanding teacher and loved by his colleagues, students, athletes, administrators and other school personnel. Jim had an “eye” for his students and athletes and had a positive relationship with each of them. He was an outstanding citizen in every respect. He was happy to be a Comstock Colt and a proud Spartan. I miss you, dear friend.
