    My prayers and thoughts are with the Primeau family in this sad time. I attended school at St. James and met several of the Primeau Clan and as a twenty-teen came to respect Ray&&single&&s sense of fairness in a professional capacity. I then enjoyed working with Dan at a rather unenjoyable locale.
