Many good memories were made during the Annual Ghost Walk. Jim was always there, dressed in character (complete with mutton chop sideburns), to offer lessons on the history of Elmira.

Truly, he touched so many in our community!

Special thanks to the Chemung County Historical Society for creating and sharing this thoughtful collage.

It is with such a heavy heart that the Friends acknowledge the legacy and mourn the loss of one of our founding fathers, Jim Hare. We grieve along with the entire community he lived for and tirelessly supported. His contributions to Elmira, the Friends of Woodlawn Cemetery, and all others he touched and supported so fiercely will be felt and missed so deeply. RIP Jim, and thank you for your service to us and so many others. Godspeed.
