My deepest condolences to the family. I too, flew with Jim as his F.O. on many trips on the 767.He was a great guy, laid back and professional. I was at his 50th birthday party and remember Jim as being very happy all the time. Hard to imagine him gone even though I lost touch with him after he retired. Thoughts and prayers to the family. A great guy, truly.

Jim was a great pilot/leader. I had the privilege flying with him in the '80s as a first officer on the DC-9 with him as Captain. He was professional, personable, and really just a great guy to fly with when you were just starting out.
