I was saddened when I heard about Jim's passing in Automotive Fleet. I always enjoyed his comic wit and sarcastic spin he put on many topics. As a newcomer in the fleet business in the 80's, with Genway Leasing, Jim offered me many words of wisdom and experience that will not be forgotten.

Sherry, Liz and Finleigh-
Words can't express the sorry that Jill and I feel. Jim was a such a generous and bigger than life guy. He always had a smile and story to share. Lots of stories! The BEST dressed man that ever walked! He will be missed by all.
