Read MoreI am a cousin to James Compton. My father was a younger brother to his mother, Josie Allison Compton. My husband and I enjoyed a friendly relationship with Jim & Gaylene when we lived in San Antonio in the 1970´s. They were gracious & kind and we enjoyed visiting with them at that time. My condolences to his family.

My sincere sympathy to Jim's surviving family that I know he was so proud of. Working with Jim side by side for years and then replacing him at SwRI I can give first hand testimony to his character and abilities. His sense of humor and laugh was always a delight. Best to Gaylene. He will be thought of fondly by all that knew him.
