Not sure what to say?

It sounds like Jim filled his life purposefully by enjoying each new place he visited, each new friend he met, and each new way he found to work alongside and serve others. I know many in the IRS building here in D.C. looked forward to his ready smile and positive comments each day. My condolences to his family. I know they will be strengthened by memories of Jim and by their shared faith. The thoughts of many here are with you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've known Jim since he started working for the IRS Office of Legislative Affairs. We chatted a lot about past and future travel destinations. (Like Jim, I'm quite a world traveler.) He was a good friend and coworker, and will be greatly missed.

I did not know Jim well, but I have known him for decades. Before the IRS, where I now work, I was a reporter in the 1980s and 1990s on the Hill covering taxes where I met Jim as the tax counsel for Rep. McNulty. I was then surprised to see him in my condo building - the Imperial House - where I lived in the 1990s. Then I was surprised again when I started working at IRS to see he was there too. Condolences to the family. May his memory be a blessing.

Jim is a wonderful people person who helped me feel welcome when I join the IRS Office of Legislative Affairs. On my first trip to DC to meet the District Liaisons, Jim made a point to include me in everything possible, including a tour of the Capital. He's a great guy and I will miss him.

Peggy, Mike, and Family: Shortly after my election to Congress in 1988, Jim walked into my New York State Assembly office and offered to serve in our Congressional office beginning the following January. What a lucky day for me - and for the people of the Capital District. 20 years of outstanding public service by Jim followed. More importantly, Jim became a trusted and valued Friend from that day forward. I - and all of my Family members - are very sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Jim´s family and friends. He was the "voice of reason" for our work family, was always our "tour guide" when we visited DC, and will be dearly missed.
