To Jim's family. May God bless you during this time of loss and give you strength and understanding. My wife and I worked with Jim before he retired. I will always remember that Jim was the first person that welcomed me to the company and department upon my hire 26 years ago. I remember Jim as a friendly, good humored and talented man that loved his country and family. We golfed together on occasion and enjoyed a few laughs and frustrations on the course together. I am sorry to hear of his passing, but I am glad I knew him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
