Not sure what to say?

I served under James in the United States Marine Corps stationed at VMGR 352 located at MCAS El Toro California from August 1973 through June 1975. James was a great leader and mentor. He was a Marine that took care of his subordinates. He took me under his wing and provided me with the training I needed to become the best I could be. He was instrumental in my achieving a meritorious promotion to Corporal. I lost touch with him after I was transferred to another duty station. I had no...

I had the pleasure of working with Jim for several years whilst he was at Rolls-Royce. He was an amazing individual and as well as being an experienced engineer, he had the most amazing stories and life experience. It was an honour to have known him - he’ll be sadly missed

Hi Mama, Angie, Auntie Viv, Tim and Jimmy. You are in our prayers. Please accept our sincere condolences. We love you all.

My Sincere Condolences on Jim's passing. New him as part of the SAAB2000 program and other AE projects. Sorry to hear this,

Jim was a great co-worker at Allison/Rolls-Royce, and always a proud Marine. Friendly, courteous, professional, and a hard worker. He also always had humorous stories and jokes to tell from his Marine years. I met him in Sweden in 1993 when he was supporting the test program on the Saab 2000 aircraft. Jim pulled an "all-nighter" with fellow Allison/RR co-workers to change out 2 engines to enable the flight test aircraft to fly the next day. He was a great guy and gentleman. R.I.P. Jim!

Chris, Jimmy, Angela & Family, As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
