I'VE KNOWN JIM FOR NEARLY 44 YEARS. HIS MOST NOTABLE CHARACTERISTIC WAS HIS LAUGH. HE PUT HIS ENTIRE SELF INTO IT. ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO HIS E-MAILS BECAUSE HE NEVER SENT JUNK, ALWAYS SOMETHING REALLY GREAT. WE WORKED TOGETHER OFF AND ON DURING MOST OF OUR CAREERS. IT WAS ALWAYS COMFORTING TO0 BE WITH JIM WHEN WE BID A JOB. HE WAS THE BEST AT THE ESTIMATE AND THE CLOSEOUT. JIM AND MARIE ARE OUR DAUGHTERS GODPARENTS. I'LL MISS HIM.
