I worked with and for Jim for many years at Palo Verde. He was a great guy to work for, he always had my back, even if he suspected I was wrong, and that meant a lot, especially when I was in over my pay grade! Many thanks and much respect to this man. RIP Jim.

Jim was the baby among our cousins. I remember watching "Your Hit Parade" and they sang "Let Me Go Lover" . Jim was about 4 at the time and he was laying on the floor pounding his fists and crying as he sang along. We all were laughing hysterically.

My earliest memories of Jimmy was him being a bit more than a year younger than us, trying to follow us around and interrupt our terribly important play. Bette & I would eventually give in as all older siblings cousins do. Miss you Jimmy.
