A wonderful and intelligent person, whom will be missed. The computer group that we belonged to brought us together decades ago. My sympathies go out to his family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a great intellectual and a true visionary for the NCTCUG computer group in the 1980's. I always enjoyed meeting with him for lunch on Saturday with others in the club and talking about the latest Flight Simulator software. He will be truly missed.
