Jim's passing is a great loss to all of us. He was a wonderful husband and father who boasted about his childrens' accomplishments often.
His professional activities in the IES organization endeared him to engineers nationwide, earning him their respect and appreciation for years.
He will be missed as a colleague, mentor, and good friend.
I send my heartfelt condolences to his wife and children. I am sure Jim will be remembered long for his great jokes and wry sense of humor. I will miss him and his daily jokes via email a lot.
