Michael Jackson has left us

Yesterday, June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles. I'm so glad James didn't live to hear that his favorite singer passed away. He would have been so upset and sad. James had several of Michael's CD's and especially liked "Bad". He would play that song and snap his fingers and dance around just like Michael Jackson. I think he would sometimes imitate Michael and sing "Bad" at talent shows at work. James loved music and his happiest times were listening to his records on his record player. He didn't know how to play cassettes or CDs. Christmas 2008 he received a new record player for Christmas but never got to use it very much before he died in Feb. Here some photos of James when he was having fun.

He always wanted to read the sale papers on Sunday. Here he is reading by kerosene light during one of our hurricane watches.
