I was fortunate to have known Jim. He offered his friendship easily. We swapped stories of the good old days at HP, and discovered we had many memories in common. His colleagues and professional community will miss him. We wish you strength in this very difficult time.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them
But an entire life to forget them..
To My Rock, all my love, peace be with you. You will never be forgotten. Semper Fi
