Jim Steele

The former chief operating officer of the Gwinnett County Public Schools, Jim Steele, died June 21 in Toccoa at the age of 73 from the maladies of prostate cancer. At his own request, there will be no funeral, because, as he stated: “Funerals were too sad and morbid.” His body will be cremated and his ashes will be scattered on a new road he had just seen finished on his farm in Toccoa.
