I would love to get in touch with you.

Jim and I were colleagues in Bangladesh from 1961-1963, as part of the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers in South Asia. Jim's intelligence, keen sense of humor and dedication to his work in Mirpur was a personal inspiration to me, and our phone calls over the years, from "Jim-babu" to or from "Tom-sahib" never failed to lift me up. Jim was a remarkable person, gone too soon, but left indelible memories and affection.

Jim made an extraordinary difference in my life -- during the Population Commission years, as my boss and co-author at the Population Council, as a colleague and friend through my entire professional life. Despite his terrible puns, we laughed and learned a lot from each other. Like so many others, I will carry a part of Jim with me into the future.

Jenn, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Jim was the best thing in my life. He was always there for me and I will miss him greatly.

While at the Population Council, Jim was my supervisor... and no one could have been a better colleague. He brought out the best in everyone and I have missed him since he left here. All of us at the Population Council who knew Jim were very sad to learn of his passing. I will always think of him with very great fondness.
