Late yesterday, Kenji Sugahara, Executive Director of OBRA sent out a sad, sad announcement:Dear OBRA Community,Even those who did not race often saw him biking around Salem, in the bike shops, and around town.
I am sad to say that Jim Henry passed away this afternoon two weeks after a cycling accident just outside his hometown of Salem. An OBRA racer in the past he was affectionately known as one-armed Jim. A very affable individual Jim was known for his caring nature and kindness. He was a teacher in the Salem school district. We will all miss you Jim.
I will pass on details of any service or whether flowers/condolences will be accepted as it becomes available.
Heartfelt condolences and thoughts to colleagues, students, friends, and especially to family.
