James(Steamboat)stephens and I were good friends in High School. We lost touch when he moved to East Orange after High School. A few years later he served in Viet Nam. He found and contacted me in 2006 0r 2007. We stayed in touch with each other until he had liver problems and passed away in April of 2009. He was a kind and generous person who would give you the shirt off his back. RIP my friend.

Jimmy Steamboat Stephens a quite and easy going guy.I remember him very way and would like to say He was a friend of mine. I remember how he would always hang out with Cowboy (Henry Westry) while in George Innis.They were a real comedy pair especially when they were in Mr. Lee's (Moon's} science class, you never knew what to expect when they would team up on Moon. ( example) It was a cold fall day while in Mr. Lee's class, Jim  called out to Mr. Lee about how cold it was in the class room and Henry backed him up with the statement to close out the chilly meanning the window. You had to be there to get the full effect of their friendship. Jim was the kind of person that was very hard not to like. God speed my friend and may we me again. .
