I offer my deepest condolences to Jim's precious family. I worked with Jim for several years at LANL. I saw how he dearly loved his family. His children meant everything to him. I was so blessed to know his son, Josh. He was a dear soul. A man of honor. Those of us that knew him were deeply blessed. I know that you are resting and enjoying a new adventure. Love you forever Jim.
