I am so sorry to learn of Jim's death. We shared so good times together. I worked at the FAA with Jim and he and I had some fun flights together. Jim took me up in his Citabria and he did loops and rolls. We also enjoyed the amateur radio times together. I will miss him and always remember him as a good friend.

Yes Tony. Jim worked for FAA for about 25 years then went up automation with FAA and DISC for about 15 years. I still work with him flying and ham radio for years.
