Not sure what to say?

A day has not gone by that I have not thought of Jim and Barbara. The picnics we went to were wonderful as he always had something interesting to share. He was one of a kind and I miss his company.

We are saddened to learn of the death of James, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps, in both Rajastan and Colombia.
Our condolences,

Jim played such a major part in steering my career down a path that lead to pastures I could never have imagined. Sadly I tried to reach out to him when I heard of his illness but missed him by one day, I just wanted to say thanks to him for having the faith in me that he did. Barbara if you read this I will be eternally thankful to Jum and my heart goes out to you in this time of great sadness in your life. Hugh Johnson
