James Earl Eimes

I worked with Jim steadily from 1982 until my retirement three years ago, and we have talked some after that. An ace of an engineer and a person with a sense of humor. I sat at the memorial service remembering his help to us at the Connecticut prototype and our work on the IDE's when I came back to headquarters. A true visionary.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Eimes two summers ago on a joint project and he was a true partner and superb professional.

My prayers and best wishes are extended to his family, who are in my thoughts.

I want you all to know how sad I am to lose my friend and co-worker. When Jim first came to NR in the refueling shop, he reported to me. Of course, I soon figured out that he had as much to teach me as I did to teach him. Over many years until I retired, he was a help and good adviser on all sorts of things. I was proud of him. He grew far beyond what I was able to impart to him. I am grateful that I stopped to talk with him last Thursday when I was at NR. It was a routine exchange of...

Dear Eimes Family,

On behalf of the Naval Reactors Representative's Office, Moored Training Ship, I extend our condolences for your loss. Jim was a great engineer, leader and friend, with far reaching insight and a logical approach to solving complicated issues. I often sought Jim's advice on a wide range of matters because of his cool, level-headed, and down-to-earth answers. His responses frequently related to his early years as a young Sailor on the deckplates. Jim has been...

Dear Eimes Family,
I consider it my privilege to have worked with Jim the last few years. His commitment to the NR program and his professionalism set an example for us all. We will miss him and yet realize your loss greatly exceeds ours. You are in our prayers and may God be gracious to you and give you peace and comfort at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Rohrer

Dear Eimes family,

Dear Eimes Family,
Thinking of you, with Sympathy...
I have known Mr. Eimes since 1989 when I first started to work at NR. He was always a pleasure to work with and talk to. Over the past several years I have become carpool member and co-worker when he came down to work in the project office. I will miss him a lot. Your family is in my heart and prayers. God Bless

With deepest sympathy from all of us at Catholic University.

To all of us, Jim is fondly remembered as a hardworking, honorable gentleman who never yielded on his personal values or his vision of the best trained operators and engineers throughout the program. He brought a degree of visible concern for the well being of those he worked with. Jim's concern for the quality of life and the human side of our...
