Not sure what to say?

I've had the honor of working with Jim for many years along my career path, some of it in business together at Globetek. He's someone who always enjoyed each moment.

When my transfer comes through to join Pearly Gates Inc, I hope Jim is my first boss. What a warm smile like his will do to make me feel welcome. Luv' ya.

Sally, both Charmaine and I were saddened to hear of the death of Jim. We had so much fun with you all during our time in Kansas City together. He will always be remembered.

So sad to hear about Jim's passing. I worked for Jim at Globetek for five years and had a great respect and admiration for his generosity and thoughtfulness. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally and the family at this time of their loss.

I knew Jim in business many years ago. Later Jim and Sally became neighbors by moving into our small community. Truly a nice personable gentleman and good neighbor.

Kathy and I had the privilege of knowing this great guy; Kathy as an IBMer and me as an IBM customer. Jim always had a smile on his face and a story to tell! Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace "Smity"!!

My condolences to Jim's family. Knew and worked with him at IBM in Cleveland more years ago than I care to remember.. Lots of memories from PJ's with Jim, Gums, and the old IBM 075 gang.. Great friend, and very good man, Jim will be missed by all.

My condolences to the family. If they had a Mt. Rushmore for IBM Cleveland branch managers, Jim
would certainly be so honored. He was smart, witty, and a true gentleman.

So sad to hear about Jim's passing. Jim was one of the true gentlemen of the world. Always a smile and a pleasant word. I loved the guy. He made me proud to work along side him. May the Lord find just the right job for him in his new vocation.
