My sincere condolences to Jim's family. He was one of my favorite and trusted Vendors. Those of us in the NNSY Contracts Division will miss his friendly voice, and even more his knowledge in the product he offered. God Bless.

It is with great sadness that we say our goodbyes to Jim. He was a part of our family. Jim was there to celebrate Christmas and special family events with us. Jim was a long time friend of Herb's and became a special person to me and my family 14 years ago. R.I.P.
