Mark Stiles wrote a sympathy message

“Condolences to all family and friends of Jim. He was one of my brother's BFF. It looks as though all the members of "Sleepy Hollow" row are gathering for their reunion. That is an inside story that my brother told many times. It is in reference to a shared cruelty suffered at the hands of one seventh grade Nun. Prayers and best wishes to all.”
