I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I enjoyed working with Jim for many years at NASA. We shared many laughs over the years as Jim had such a wonderful sense of humor that we both enjoyed. No matter how serious, or thought provoking a situation may have been, there was always a way that Jim could always find a way to work through the situation by adding a little humor. Heaven will certainly enjoy his personality as much as I did. There were many instances where my lack of knowledge of regulations made my objectives extremely difficult. It was in these situations that I turned to Jim to determine how to proceed. I recall many instances where Jim made my job a lot easier. What better can be said about a coworker?
