My sincere condolences to Jim's family. I met 'JimBen' on the Lung Cancer Support Community on the internet. He was a true gentleman, and always a very supportive person. I remember that he felt guilty when his cancer went into remission and other people still had cancer. On the website he had a picture of one of his little grandson's holding a little fish-just precious.

Jim Bennett was one of the greatest guys I have ever known and perhaps one of the best brains in electronics. We spent so much time together and on radio. He will be missed and always remembered. Tootsie and my condolences to the family.
