For those who haven’t heard, James May, the first Director of the WA State Fathers Network passed away yesterday.  For many who have been part of the Network for some time, the person and the organization are one and the same and it’s hard to imagine one without the other.  James positively affected the lives of a great many people, especially the men in the Network.  And, for me he was a great source of information, perspective and inspiration.  He will very much be missed.  As more information is learned about a service or celebration of life it will be provided here and to those on our mailing list.

If you have photos of James that can be shared, I’d appreciate you sending them to me at louis.mendoza@kindering.org.    Below is a photo of James at the annual kickoff the school year breakfast back in 2015 (for those that don’t know him, he’s the guy in the center with the mischievous smile).
