James Richardson was my friend. How did this come about? I am a member of a group known simply as “the group.” We meet twice a month, usually at one of the group member’s homes. Each member brings an article of interest to share, and after he or she is finished reading, asks for comments that bring on a discussion. The majority of members are “Liberals” in the political sense, with the exception of James.

“I can’t help it, James once told me. I’m a Bureaucrat, and that’s the way we are.”

I replied, that he looked to me like an intelligent person, so how could he be a Government worker? He wasn’t offended, but laughed and said it was better than being a business man. Continuing the discussion, I said that business paid taxes that helped make his job possible. This good natured discussion went on and on.

Though, James and I had many discussions and even arguments, neither of us really ever backed down yet we remained friends.

What amazed me was James’ good humor despite his handicaps. I will miss James at group, especially considering the up coming election, as he was always sure to come from an intelligent position. And, I will also miss James as a friend. I feel fortunate to have been privileged to call him that.

Dear Cindy:
We are so sorry to hear about Jim. Have many good memories of him though, as a wonderful host at his home when we came for dinner, and the times we had dinner with you all when Chuck were in town. Jim's interest in art was wonderful, and the two of you were a job to be with. We hope you are doing as well as you can during this difficult time. Please call us if we can do anything for you.
Love, Anne and Ken (Rowe)

James enjoyed retirement very much and liked to sit outside and enjoy the Florida sunshine. He also enjoyed living in Florida. On a visit there with my grandchildren in 2003, he taught my grandsons some things about playing pool.

I will always remember his big smile and I remember in particular that game of pool with Ezra, with James looking pleased as punch.

James and I met in the Cripple Children 's Home in Pensacola Florida. We both had spinal cord injuries a week apart. We were roommates for a while until we got caught stashing junk food in our closet and not eating the provided meals. We became good friends and stayed in touch for several years. We had the privilege of meeting Cindy and visiting with each other, when they lived in Florida. When James worked in personal at Eglin, he called to see if I needed a job. I was waiting to hear from 2 other jobs in the school system that I had applied for. He asked if my wife would be interested in a job and the rest is history. She retired from Eglin in 2008. We lost touch with one another for a while but was thankful we were able to get reacquainted in the past few years. So glad we went to Palm Coast to visit. We keep in touch by phone but I wished I would have called more often. We thought a lot of James and will miss him very much. That God for his wonderful wife, Cindy. Yes. he did enjoy art and we got to enjoy him shareing his collection. We also enjoyed our trip to St.Augustin . Until we meet again my brother.
