To the family of James John French: My condolences on the transition of Mr. French. This was a GOOD man to everyone! His presence will be greatly missed. We thank him for advocating for the African American Community in particular but also for the entire community of Charleston, S.C.(the Holy City), as he saw equal rights for ALL was beneficial for ALL! His editorial closings "MERCY"!!!

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. French. I met in a couple of times in the 1980s. I noted the comment in the obituary by Rep. Gilliard of the Chronicle's office at the corner of King and Wolfe. My father Israel Altman was his landlord. On my father's death in 1993, Mr. French wrote the most beautiful tribute to him called "A Man Who Cared". Our family thinks of it and the man who wrote it often. Mr. French did much for the entire community by making us all aware. He will be missed by the entire Charleston Community.
