James Rigby 1946 - 2009
 

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our friend and colleague on January 16, 2009, after a short battle with cancer.  The family has created the "Jim Rigby Memorial Fund”, at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. Since the passing of knowledge from one generation to another, education and teaching was such a big part of Jim's life this fund has been established for the purpose of a “Distinguished Lecture Series, the promotion of Christian education, and educational materials for the church he loved.”
