My goodness, Jim.

I (BHS 67) first met Jim when he and I worked for Cleveland Metroparks.  At that time Baldwin Lake was being dredged and Jim worked on the dredger, I was on the maintenance crew with his brother, Tommy.  At the begining of the day, it was clearing the trash in the picnic areas in Berea, Bonnie Park and Memphis.  

After high school and the military, I was an officer with Berea.  Jim and I would sometimes meet at Spudnuts on Prospect and have lunch and just shoot the breeze.

My thoughts and prayers to his family and BHS classmates.

To Susan and your children. Darryl's students, friends and colleagues in education. Finally, to the BHS Class of 1965 family, my deepest expression of sorrow.

I remember Darryl from Berea and later we reunited, so to speak, when I was a police officer with the Berea Police Department.  Darryl became one of the first members of the department's auxiliary unit.  I always enjoyed chit-chatting with him when on duty with him and as I recall, he enjoyed smoking a pipe.

What a wonderful man.
