We met Jim when we were invited to become part of the SRI tailgater's group for the Stanford football home games in the fall of 1989.
Jim was most often the first to greet us when we would arrive, with his warm and bubbling personality. And it was fun the rest of the day. We will forever remember the good times we had together.
We ask God to bless the Wangsness family with love and peace especially during this time as you go through your healing process from your loss.

I worked with Jim for several years at Bechtel National. He was the security manager for several programs of importance to Bechtel and to the Nation. Jim was very effective in his job and took great pride in doing things correctly. I have very good memories of Jim and will miss him. Jim and the entire family will be in my prayers.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I sat in an office next to him for a few years and really appreciated his sunny and pleasant disposition. I pray for your comfort during your sorrow.
