Sharon and Jim's family, I had the pleasure of working with Jim while we were partners at Arthur Andersen & Co. He was a true leader and an inspiration to many of us at Andersen. Ed and Nancy Bader

May God be with Jims Family as they grieve his passing--remembering our special times as partners in the best firm ever--Dean Christensen

May God be with the Edwards family during this time of deep sorrow.

Jim was one of the most impressive men I met. He was an accomplished professional in every sense of the word. He put 100% of his effort into Arthur Andersen and his commitment to the firm and its clients knew no bounds. His integrity was visible in everything he touched. He will be missed by all his friends.

Sending love and prayers! James and Mary Michael McLaney

Hi Sharon and family, Jim was a great leader and friend. He will be missed by many. I was fortunate to work with him in Atlanta for many years and later in NY. I remember Jim and Richard Spivak visiting me in my home in CT in 1997 as I was recovering from a heart attack - I so appreciated them making the trip to visit. May he rest in peace. Herb
