I can't remember when I first met Jim, but he was a fine may to work with/for. He came to bat for me when really needed the help. I'm sorry I was never in a position to return the favor. My condolences to Becky and family.

I first met Jim in 1984 when he was the Manager of Operations and I was a newly minted software enginering leader.
Jim always treated me with respect and kindness even when he was frustrated with the realtime software that I was responsible for developing for him.
I admired Jim for his knowledge of the Eastern Test Range, for his lightning quick operations decisions, and for the dedication that he had for his people.
Jim was a wonderful person to know, to work with, and to be around!

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with/for Jim a few years in Operations Control. He quickly earned my respect as a Manager, Friend, and as a Good Man. I am very sorry to hear of his early departure.
