Troy, Mendy, and all the Lafon family -
I'm really sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have a vivid memory of being a Green B buddy basketball cheerleader in 3rd grade and chanting, along with my teammates (and at the urging of Stephanie Fisher), "Let's get fired up! (Hey, you! Jim Lafon!) You all will be in my prayers.
