James (Jim) Richard, COLLEY

Overwhelmed to learn such terrible news
Dear Sally, Chris, and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was such a remarkable individual. I will always remember him as fair, kind, calm, and thoughtful. Because of Jim's open-mindedness and creative planning, I was able to jump start my career. He hired me to teach a few classes at Farnham Elementary, and that got my foot in the door with the ETSB. I worked with him for a couple years, and he always managed to make me feel like a welcome member of the team. My inexperience and age meant very little to him; he wanted to give me a chance, and I am grateful to him for it. I hope you all find comfort knowing that Jim affected so many people in such positive ways. He will be missed. Best wishes, Pat Fontaine
