Nella, just received sad news of Jimmy.
It was good to work with Jim watching his interest with
test equipment and technology.
In retirement it was fun golfing together and Jimmy's
never ending supply of ANDREW Corporation golf balls.
I wonder where those lost golf balls ended up?
When we get together for our work group lunches, we will
think about Jimmy and others who left us.

Once again my condolences to you and family.

Nella, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I always thought that he was such a nice guy. Back in the day being around him, made me want to be as cool as he was. May God comfort you.
