Jim was a graduate of Linden High School, Class of 1964 in Linden, New Jersey. He furthered his education at Newark College of Engineering (now New Jersey Institute of Technology) and received a Bachelor of Science in 1968 in Chemical Engineering. He continued his education and received his Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1970 from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and finally in 1993, he received his Juris Doctor degree from South Texas College of Law Houston.
Jim worked for ExxonMobil throughout his entire career, at locations in the United States, Canada, and France. He served in various engineering positions from 1970 to 1995, then as an Intellectual Property attorney from 1995 until retirement in 2006. Following his retirement, Jim remained of counsel for the company until 2016.
Jim was passionate about photography, astronomy, music, and Japanese language and culture. He was an avid fan of basketball and Formula One racing.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the entire staff of Duke University Hospital in Raleigh, and most especially those of 4700 South, for the compassionate care rendered to him and to us during his final weeks.
