G. Larry James (1947-2008): Olympian, Educator, Visionary | |||
James arrived at Stockton in 1972 and helped spur the College’s growth over 36 years while serving in such roles as coach, athletic director and dean. He became the athletic director in 1980 and spearheaded the development of Stockton’s athletic program as the driving force behind such projects as construction of the $17 million Sports Center and steady expansion of the athletic department to its current total of 17 sports. An Olympian, educator and visionary, James was a giant on the international track & field scene and a pillar of strength for Richard Stockton College who impacted countless lives worldwide. Memorial services will be on Saturday, November 15th at 10 am at Victory First Presbyterian Deliverance Church, 1013 Pacific Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401. In lieu of flowers, the James family suggests that well-wishers make a donation to the G. Larry James Legacy Fund. Links/Media Coverage: |
