Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Jim. He was one of the most outstanding of the many reporters that I have worked with in Market News in my 30 years. His contributions were significant and numerous from the standpoint of professional excellence. The reporters that have followed him in Boston continue to strive for the excellence he rountinely achieved.

I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing and will truly miss him. We worked together for several years and I credit Jim for teaching me what I know about reporting produce markets and really understanding them. His work ethic and attention to detail was commendable. I won't forget all the laughter and fun he brought to the Boston office as well. Those are truly cherished memories. You are in my prayers.

Dear Kathleen, Mike & Family;

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's death. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

As you know I worked with Jim side by side for 30 years. He thought the world of you folks. Jim wasn't the type to just talk about family but we became very close over the years. I know he will be greatly missed.
