My sincere condolences to the family of "Jimmy" Brine. From our Russell School years to our four years at Rindge Tech, we were friends. Jimmy was an athlete, scholar, businessman and a great family man. I will miss "Jimmy" being at our Class of 1956 table at the Rindge Alumni Annual Dinners that he and many of our classmates participated in over the last few decades. He supported the communities in which he operated his stores. I recall the Harvard Square location and his opening of the Belmont Store in Waverley Square. I often met with him and his son who ran the store. Though we are now fewer in number the Class of 1956 will be forever indebted to the legacy of James W. Brine, Jr. Rest in Peace dear friend.
