We first met at a Christmas party in 1982 in Richland, Washington, when you came to host the party for your employees as the executive director of ATI. Although not one of your employees, I was invited since I have just married your cousin Ruth. In the fall of 1983 when Ruth and I moved to the east coast to pursue my export-import business, you and Julia graciously invited us to stay in your Wayne, New Jersey home. That hospitality was much needed for Ruth and I since we were new to the area.
I always remembered, in the early 80’s, you had already possessed a vast knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, Venture Capitals, and Entrepreneurship. I can’t say enough of my gratitude to you for sharing such knowledge that in some form shaped the way I conducted my professional life all these years. You were very artistic and creative. I enjoyed the Chinese calligraphy and paintings you sent to me and will treasure them forever.
I still can’t get over the fact that you left us so suddenly. On July 10th, we had lunch in Fremont and then went to Livermore for wine tasting. We had a great time catching up and were all happy for the reunion. We even made a plan to see each other later this year in Taipei. Little did we know that was the last time we would see you!
Dear James, we will miss you dearly! May You Rest in Peace!

Just a few glimpses from James’ many leadership initiatives not only at the GKE/COMWEB offices in New Jersey and other states, but also chosen from images of his work in places such as Singapore, Korea, Italy, Japan, and China, more places than can be mentioned easily.
James touched the heart of modern learning and was an inspiring and memorable voice in state, national, and global education. His educational leadership and advocacy will be missed. And, for me, his friendship, collaborations, and inspiration always will be remembered and cherished.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Florence McGinn

The first photo was in August 1977 at my wedding in Austin, Texas. We were all so young then. The second one was in December 2021 in Fort Lee, NJ. There had been so much memory through the years. It is hard to say goodbye to a dear old friend. May you rest in peace.
Love,
Chiyuan and Jan Lo
