I am so sorry about Jim's passing. I worked for/with him in Huntsville and enjoyed every day. He was one of the best bosses ever. Jim was truly a gentleman and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

He seemed to be very knowledgeable on many subjects and could communicate with folks at any knowledge/experience level they possessed. That is a rare skill, indeed, and Jim definitely had it. We will all miss him.
