I worked at GE with Jim at the Waukesha South Facility. There, he would make fun of my Hawaiian Shirts, (as if HE'D never wear one!) We shared our love of the tropics in conversation frequently. We exchanged tropical plants from time to time, and now whenever I look at the plants on my patio, it will serve as a memory of this fine man. We had talked from time to time of sharing 'umbrella' drinks on my patio. I regret that this never happened. I have, and will continue to pray for both Him, and the loved ones mourning his departure. -Greg

Thanks for being there for me in December 2016 Jim. You stood up when most everyone else sat down. I'll never forget that and I hope I make you proud as you watch over me.

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing, we had worked together in the early 70's at GE and he always made people smile. Later when he returned to GE, he would stop my office and we would share a cup of coffee and talk about the "old" times and some of the people we worked with.
My family and I will keep you and yours in our prayers and again we extend to your family our condolences.

Jim's enthusiasm for life, his kindness and laughter will be our lingering memory of such a fine man. His love of all things Irish was such a joy to share. God has another great man in his Kingdom watching over us. Mary, you and yours are in our prayers.
