Jim and I have shared many laughs, many ideas, many friends, many disagreements, many successes and many trials. He will be greatly missed as a friend, colleague and kindred spirit. His work, passion and humor will undoubtedly continue having an impact.

We all know from working with Jim on the Environmental Fund for Maryland board that Jim could always bring a smile even though the way was sometimes tough. We will miss you.
We spoke of our mutual interest in daffodils... I will plant a memory bed of daffodils in his memory. My sympathy to his family.
