I am trying to think if I knew of ANYONE that the deserved the Title, "Minister of Fun" more than Jim? In Disney's, "The Jungle Book", when the Vultures were perched in the tree asking each other what they wanted to do and not know what they wanted to do? Did you ever hear Jim ask that question? Of course not! When he approached you, from a distance, all I could think about was how much time and money was I about to commit because of this GREAT TIME we are about to have. Living Life for the moment was the way I saw him live life. "Now" was his watch and was divided into what had to be done and what fun he was going to have next. Some guy crashed his car at the Business Building one day and landed on top of Jim's Cutlass. Jim erased all doubt concerning how this guy's car rested upon his. It was on top of his! The guys insurance company disagreed with Jim on fair market value. Jim found out who and where this guy was. Brought food and drink into the man's office and told him he needed to discuss fair market value. When Jim started playing with the paper clips on the guys desk and sighing, the man ran and got a check for Jim's Fair Market Value. Were there any threatening letters, calls to Lawyers, discussions of physical violence? No! This guy just lived in Jim's "Now"!

I'm really going to miss you Jim. Not only will I miss our technical discussions, but mostly the friendship that we shared and your blunt humor.
