We always will remember Jim Stedman as a fun-loving guy who had created a solid friendship with everyone in our Class of 1958.  He never had a bad word to say about anyone.  He spent his worklife as a painter.  As we continue to get to know more about the life of Jim, we will add that to this notice.

In the meantime, if you have a special remembrance about your interaction with Jim in high school or in past years, be sure to post a comment below in the area designated for personal reflections.
