To the family and friends:
I express my deep condolences to you all. " no temptation has taken you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for you to endure it. 1Corionthians 4;13

I met Jim in 1996 at a Vietnamese wedding. Little did I know that I would spend the next 5 years of my life working with this unassuming man. During this period we experienced a number of events together and traveled with him to places that I never thought I would visit. I remember doing alot of things with Jim, watching the events of 9/11 and 2 weeks later going to Israel and walking the Steps that Jesus walked in Jerusalem. Going to the Church of the Sepulcher and praying at the Western Wall. We also visited Merry Old England together, staying right next to Castle Bridge, riding the double decker bus through London, visiting the Military War Museum, Trafalger Square and going to see the Crown Jewels and touring the London Tower. We also traveled visiting places like Seattle, California, Texas, Ohio and Montreal Canada . I will always have fond memories of Jim. He was generous to fault , hard working, dry witted and friendly. The last time I saw Jim was in Atlanta Georgia, I walked out to his new truck with him as he was leaving the MTTS show. Never did I think this would be our last meeting. I was looking forward to seeing him in Boston for the show in June , I remember he loved his new truck and was looking forward to getting home. This man did splendid things for me and others, I will truly miss him and there will always be a smile when I think of him. God bless you Jim.
