James Lappin passed away yesterday after suffering two major heart attacks last Friday.
His “family” is pictured here around a memorial wheelchair we put in front of the Cambridge Trust Company where you would commonly see him in this spot .
A fixture in the square for many years. We stood out there today for a few hours and many stopped and spoke about him.
We are leaving the wheelchair there with hopes of his friends will take notice.

Harvard Square mourns the loss of our friend, James Lappin. James could be found most days in front of the Smith Campus Center with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed. For more information about James, please visit:
