Working and being a friend of Jim´s through work was a blessing. In conversations we found ourselves aligned with similar philosophies. How fortunate I was that our lives crossed. I had the deepest respect for this man with high moral standards and ethics.
Blessings to Jim´s family and friends as we are better for our association with him.

I have just received word of Jims passing. At first Jim was a contractor who did exceptional work for the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Truly a man who gave straight forward honest advice. He quickly became a friend.
We were very fortunate to work with Jim. He made life on earth a better place!
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Jims family.

My deepest condolences to Jims family. I am so shocked and heartbroken to hear about Jims passing. One of my closest friends during my Junior High and High School years, Jim was one of the nicest guys I knew. We connected again as young parents, getting together with our kids and spouses... and while not in touch in recent years, we still saw each other at school reunions. I was so looking forward to seeing him at our upcoming 50th. You will be greatly missed Jim. RIP.

I am sadden to learn of the passing of Jim. He and I were teammates on the Northwood HS football team; Jim the center and I was the QB. Jim always had a great work ethic, and was a kind, fun loving teammate. May he rest in peace.
