Jim was a great guy and as laid back as anyone I have ever met. Though I had not seen him for years, he is the type of friend and coworker you never forget. Sorry to hear of your loss.

I worked with Jim for many years at Nabisco. He was a fine man with a wonderful wife. He was slow to anger,and had a quick wit. We need more people like him.
