Wayne Ewing wrote a sympathy message

“Jim was such an important person in my and my family's life. Together at Yale, he called my attention to a position opening from the (former) LCA Board of World Missions. Pursuing his lead, our family spent several worldview-shaping years when I was a faculty member and administrator at Singapore's Trinity Theological College. I shall always treasure the times we spent together while I was on the faculty at UNC-Asheville.. Dear Jim. He also inspired me to restore, as did he, a slave cemetery.”
