On October 23, 2012, the Greek world lost a true visionary: James R. Favor, who died after a sudden illness. Jim (and his firm—James R. Favor & Company LLC) had been the sole provider of Lambda Chi Alpha’s insurance for more than a quarter century, beginning in the mid-1980s when securing insurance for a fraternity was nearly impossible. Lambda Chi Alpha’s risk management program grew along with the Favor Agency and Jim had been one of our best and closest allies in providing the healthiest chapter environments for our brothers. This summer Jim was awarded the George W. Spasyk Interfraternity Award, something that I know he accepted with honor. Personally, I will miss his passion for the fraternity movement and his unique style. I admired and learned a great deal from Jim and I will miss him very much. The following is the official obituary that was published.
