Liz, I'm so sorry for your loss. Jim and Bruce are having a glass of wine together on the other side. I'm remembering Jim's infectious laugh, and all of the good times we shared.. God bless. I'm out of town on business, and won't be able to see you. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Jim at Shaws years ago. He was a true gentleman. Always made sure I made it to my car safe at night. RIP my friend.

Jim was a classmate and friend since 1937 when we met in the first grade. For a while Jim was referred to as "Zeke." The origin of Zeke is that Jim had a gym shirt with the name Zeke printed on it. I went through grade school, high school and engineering school at Ohio State with Jim and knew his first wife, Mary Wolcott from the time she arrived in Columbus with her parents. Jim was a solid fellow, talented, very dependable and always wore a smile. He had his own set of "Isabelisms" which were very familiar to all his classmates. Jim was affectionately remembered by his friend Bill Kloss and I during our many telephone conversations throughout Bill's last illness. Bill and Jim and I were lifelong friends. Bill and Jim can never be replaced. The world and our country is blessed because of their wonderful deeds.

Deepest Sympathies and condolences to Mary Kay, Michael, extended family and friends. Jim was a good man and one that I had a great deal of respect for. He always had a smile and laugh for you. I only wish I could pay my respects, but have a funeral with one of my own family members this week. Best regards.
