Today we laid to rest a great man. Our friend James Haley passed on December 23. James was an amazing human being that was in prison for thirty years for a crime he didn't commit. His strong will and commitment to clearing his name rang true when he was released three years ago. This amazing man came out free from resentment and bitterness. He worked for Greater Boston Legal Services and volunteered his gracious spirit to helping others that were wrongly convicted. While in a program at Landmark Education, where we met and our friendship began, James created a book drive that collected and delivered over 3000 books to prisons throughout the country. James has truly touched, moved and inspired everyone he came in contact with. I am fortunate to have known such an amazing individual. Thank you James! While your body is gone your spirit will live on forever in me, my wife, and everyone else that you have affected throughout your life.
Rest in Peace. James Haley 1947-2010
