Bradford Grant wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest condolence. Jim was a friend, mentor and great supporter of the Department of Architecture at Howard University. His strong advocacy and support for the Department of Architecture made way for physical improvements to the facilities, establishment of an endowed chairship and support of our architecture students, especially those who were in financial need. We will miss his wise counsel, great humor, warm friendship and supportive voice. Professor Brad Grant, Howard University”
