My husband grew up in the neighborhood and lived there with his parents and brother he told me about Mr. James and his wife was my husband’s neighbor and when we were dating. Mr. James and his wife invited us over to their house and we fellowship with each other. Yes when I saw him outside I would wave to him and he would wave back. And when my husband would see him he would go over to him and speak to him. Our prayers and thoughts and condolences going out to his family and friends.

Mr. James and his wife was one of the first neighbors that we met when we moved into our house in the neighborhood back in 1977. He was very kind and friendly and when he was outside he would wave and say Hi to you. They would invite you over to their house and they would treat you like family. His family was a good Christian family. Our prayers and condolences going out to his family and friends.

Mr. James Alfred Smith was a professional Librarian full of joy with a beautiful  personality for all to see.  His life was full of kindness, dignity and ❤️ love for all to witness.  I will always remember his goodness and pray for him to RIP.

I knew and worked with James for 30+ years, he was always a kind, humble, dedicated and positive person.
My prayers and condolences to the family.
Rest In Heaven, James

He was a kind person who loved being a librarian. I am glad to be able to say he was a wonderful colleague and a friend as well.

Such a kind soul with a huge heart. Was my absolute pleasure to have had the honor of knowing you. Your son was blessed to have you as his father. Thank you for raising an amazing man that I get to call my friend. May God bless your son and the rest of your family and hold them close. My condolences

James Smith was a kind and gentle man.

He loved our Houston Community College students.

He was a thoughtful committee member. 

He worked to build a strong library collection at Houston Community College.

At his retirement celebration, I was so glad to meet his loving son Alfred.

Adieu my friend.  Kathleen Dillon

I didn't work with James much before he retired, but many of our mutual colleagues shared what a dedicated librarian he had been to the college. May he rest in peace and may the memory of his generosity and kindness be a comfort to his loved ones.

James always radiated calmness, kindness and thoughtfulness.  He will be remembered fondly.  May his gentle soul rest in peace.   

Sincerely,  
Juanna Shin, HCC West Loop Library

First time we met he would talk about his wife with so much love and respect. I thought she was still alive until he told me she has passed. May he rest in peace and now join together with his wife.
