So sad to hear of Jim's passing. I worked for him at Sennetech in 2007 for a few months after I graduated and he was such a great mentor to me during that time, as I'm sure he was to so many others throughout his life. My condolences to the family.

"Ceba, PR" hats given at Branson, 2011. (Ceba was a little town just off base). L-R: Bill Martin, Ennis Eaton, and Jim.
Jim was a great friend of everyone. Great shipmate. We served together for about 3 years, but it was a lifetime friendship. Wonderful memories.
