One Response to “(English) James Kreppner Celebration of Life”
Janice Brandt on octobre 15th, 2009
Unfortunately, I will be out of the country on Oct. 30th but wanted to send a comment on the celebration of James’s remarkable life. My son, Christopher was one of the first hemophiliacs to die of AIDS in 1987. I was totally devastated; my son was a wonderful person and I missed him so much. Then James and others were successful in obtaining the compensation package. This allowed me to accomplish a dream of going to University, getting my degree, becoming a teacher and teaching for 14 wonderful years. It also allowed me to retire with a good pension. I would give everything to have my son alive and healthy, but since this cannot happen I feel that my pension was a gift from my son that allowed me to have a fulfilling life. The courage and selfless persistence that James displayed in working to compensate the hemophilia community, really helped to change my life and I am sure this was true for others. My heartfelt thanks to a truly remarkable man.
