Jain Ming "James, Dr. Jimmy" Wu

I am so sorry to learn of Jimmy´s passing. He and Susan were so kind to me in the late 1970s and early 1980s as I struggled through professional and personal difficulties. Jimmy in particular encouraged me and was a sage advisor in the early days of my company, Orbital Sciences Corp (later Orbital ATK, now part of Northrop Grumman).

Nor could I expect financial support from my folks, since I was oldest of six. But, the Lord works in mysterious ways. An RPI classmate, Carmen Lucci (may God rest her soul), told me about UTSI, where she was going as an Air Force officer. All grad campus, small classes, on a lake, next to AEDC, beautiful country, AND I...

Your dad (and mom) are grealy missed. What an incredible life they had! May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

The entire Ding How family sends their love and deepest condolences to the Wu family during this time of mourning. Jimmy truly was one-of-a-kind and we will miss him dearly.

What a beautiful legacy he left as "teacher" for his family. I am very sorry for your unfortunate loss. I wish I had known him.
