It breaks my heart that I cannot be in Seattle right now to honor you in person, Jim.
You were not just a boss - you were a mentor, a guide, and a friend who believed in me before I believed in myself. You gave me opportunities that shaped my path, and through your patience and wisdom, you taught me lessons far beyond the workplace - lessons about resilience, integrity, and purpose.

Every project we worked on, every conversation we shared, has left an imprint that will stay with me for a lifetime. Your mentorship continues to guide me in every step I take.

Thank you, Jim, for the trust, the guidance, and the kindness you showed. You will always be remembered, not only for what you accomplished, but for the lives you touched - mine included.

Rest in peace, Jim. Your legacy lives on in all of us who had the privilege to learn from you.

Deepest condolences to Jim´s family. My parents, especially my mom loved Jim very much. He has been the best boss to her for the past 23 years. He took a chance on an immigrant woman with broken English and only an elementary education. He saw her talents and determination. He made her feel valued and respected. He plays a big part in my family´s improved quality of life. Now his memory lives on in the all the people he helped lifted. Rest in peace Jim. You are my hero.
