I was honored to work under Jim at The ODJFS site at the Columbus Airport. He was a man of honor and intregity and I never heard him gossip or say a mean thing about anyone. He was the "go to guy" if you needed help with policy and procedure ! He never made you feel inadequate for asking. I'm an advid Michigan Wolverine Fan , but I felt honored to hear stories about Nathan at OSU and Jamie's love for Penn State. We would kid each other about his love for OSU and mine for UM !! It was all in...

Jamie,
So so very sorry you lost your Dad so suddenly and so early in his life. If he is anything like you, he was a rare gem. Giovanna (your 4th grade student at Hanby) was so very sad when she heard about your Father. She has gone through a lot of loss also and wanted to express her sincere sympathies to you and your family.

Ann, Jamie and Nathan. I know that today will be hard for all of you. Just remember that Jim loved each and everyone of you with all his heart. He talked about all of you, his dogs and all the projects he would involve himself in. He used to talk to me about his beautiful roses all the time as well. Jim was one of the best bosses I've ever known. My prayers are with all of you today and my deepest condolences are with your families.

Barbara, I'm deeply moved by the loss of your brother. May the Lord be with you and your family as you seek comfort and peace. I can only imagine the impossible feeling you are experiencing. I'm reminded of Billy Joel's song - Only the Good Die Young - as I read of all the ways your brother touched so many hearts, including your own. I love you so much! The Lord keep you and guide you as we journey on, my sweet.
