Kathy and Family,
Although I didn't work closely with Jim, I worked with him often enough to respect his technical abilities, product knowledge and most importantly his ability to work closely with others in the organization. He will be missed by all.

I have not been here as long as many at Thermo Fisher. But I do know loss of a loved one very well. My heart and prayers are with you Kathy and your son. It may not feel like it but time does heal slowly. When you feel sad my hope is that you can remember the joy you shared. God Bless Sherry

Kathy, Peter, and Tyler,
I had the pleasure of working with Jim for the past 4+ years.
He was always calm and composed even when things got stressful. He will be sorely missed.
