Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to learn of Jim's passing. My wife and I extend our deepest sympathy to his family. When I was the Director of Financial Management, Office of the Budget and Project Director for the ImaginePA Project, Office of Administration, Jim was an excellent legal advisor for me as we worked to meet the intent of the law vs. the letter of the law in order to move forward on intiatives that would make the operations of the Commonwealth better. As his obituary mentioned, Jim was a great...

Please accept our deepest sympathy at this time. Jim was an outstanding attorney and provided much guidance and support to me as a Comptroller. He was able to understand our concerns. He always listened and at any time we could approach him and was always available. If he had a better way, he let you know why and always was willing to work through issues. I know he had the Commonwealth's best interest at heart. I admired and respected him very much.

Jim worked in our office and always brought a liveliness to meetings. He was not afraid to talk in the elevator or say "Hi!" when passing in the hallway. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of grief. May God bless you and your memories bring you comfort.

I was deeply sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I had the privilege of working with Jim when I was a Comptroller with the Governor' Budget Office. He was a true gentleman, a friend , professional and just an all around great guy. I extend my deepest sympathy to Jim's family. I know he will be sorely missed.
