Dear Sue and Family, Meredith and I send our heartfelt condolences for your loss of Jim. He was one of those rare individuals to whom people gravitated from first meeting. Jim was a character and fun to be around for sure, but a man with great character as well. We miss his friendship, and fondly remember many good times together.

Sheri, Sue, Lisa, and Janine, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad I got to visit with Jim one last time, and I'll always remember, Sheri, how he talked about what a wonderful person you are and how much he loved you. When we were growing up, he was always a fun, caring presence, providing stability and laughter. I love your family so much.

Sue, Lisa, Janine,Sheri and family- i´m so sorry to hear of the news of Jim`s passing. I will pray for God`s comfort over you and send my love and hugs. I so appreciate the friendship all those years ago. Much love to you all.

Jim was one of the very best leaders & friends that I have had the honor of knowing. I was in Jim's Program Management Team at Tektronix for years. Jim shared his wisdom & kindness even during challenging times. Jim was one of those exceptional people that I only ever heard positive comments about. My wife & I had the honor of becoming friends with Jim & his wonderful wife, Sue. Jim & Sue always loved each other & their beautiful daughters & grandchildren. Please accept our deepest...

Jim worked with me for several years at Tektronix and later as a consultant. He was a Master at his trade and he taught me a LOT. He provided a quiet voice of leadership in times when our teams were facing hard challenges. More importantly he was a role model of fairness, focus and professionalism His style of teaching and 'messages' travelled around the world (literally). He changed the way we did business. A kind and gentle man. RIP Jim.

Dear Sue, Dear Familiy Waddell, I will always keep Jim in mind as one of the nicest persons I've ever met in my professional life. It was a great honor to me to be on his German Tektronix team in Berlin, Jim always gave appreciation and guidance. Thanks for everything dear Jim. In loving memory

I extend my deepest condolences to Jim´s family. Rest in peace, Jim.
