Read MoreI met Jim in Seattle, Wa. in 1967. We quickly became good friends. Jim was an usher for Kathleen and I on 6 July 1968. We kept in touch through the years and had family get-togethers when possibly. Our great sympathy to the family and to Kathleen and I, we truly lost a good person.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with and for him on the flightline at Peterson AFB and went round and round with him on more than a few occasions, but in the end, he was a good guy with a great sense of humor. Press on with pride, Jim.

Jim was a good friend and a great crew chief. I always knew my airplane was safe when Jim was my crew chief. Thank you for sharing your dad/grandpa with me.
