6 years ago the Good Counsel Community lost a fellow ball player, friend, and all around great guy in Jim. May God's Blessings still surround his whole family.

I just heard about Jim. I knew him for many years, we were in the same field. He was always kind to me and always took my calls. He will be greatly missed in business and personally. My prayers are with your family.

To Ann Marie and Family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. Jim was a terrific colleague and friend to me and so many others. We Gunns pray the Lord will give peace, hope and confidence at this very tender time. Draw close to Him and His promises: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive, what God has prepared for those who love Him."

Jim was an esteemed colleague at Northrop Grumman. One of my last interactions with Jim was playing golf with him at an AFCEA event. He played well that day and our foursome had a lot of fun. His Northrop colleagues miss him. May he rest in peace.

Jim knew no strangers. If we were on the sidelines of the basketball court or the karate dojo, a conversation was not far behind. Funny, sweet man whose passion for his family was evident. Condolences from the Smith Family - Ron, Michele, Morgan, Drew & Bailey

I only got the chance to meet Jim for the first time a few years ago when he became my manager at Northrop. Jim is a good, good man... with a heart of gold. I am lucky to have known him in the short time I did, and I learned a lot from Jim. His calming nature will be dearly missed, but I know he is living large in Heaven.

Coach Hollister was a patient, caring and dedicate coach. He taught his players to be sportsmen, scholars and gentlemen. He was tough on us for sure, but we loved him for it as we are now better men. GOD rest you Coach, and may our Lady of Good Counsel welcome you into the communion of Saints.

Your encouragement of my recruiting business and the significant role you played in promoting that business to your employers. I am going to miss you. On behalf of Ellen, Joshua & Ilyssa, please accept our thoughts, prayers and condolences to your family and friends. Eric
