I was proud to count "Jim-Bob" among my friends. He was smart, fun and had great taste in music. He was also one of the best Diplomacy 'zine editors, and gamemasters, ever.

We health economists in the VA consider Jim Burgess as a Founding Father of economic analysis on issues concerning our beloved Veterans. Jim inspired me in my VA career and countless others. We are truly blessed that God gave him to the VA to make such a tremendous contribution and impact. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends and the VA and health economics communities.

He was a gentleman of the Diplomacy hobby and a faithful supporter of the right thing to do in it. He was fun to play with and looked to expand the enjoyment of the social aspect of the game of Diplomacy with the players on other fields of gaming.
I will miss him.
