So sorry to learn of Jim's passing. We both worked at Metro Community College and at various times Jim served as my supervisor, and was always a colleague. He had an enthusiasm for his job that helped us work through problems. He also had the ability to look ahead and focus on the future while we worked in the present. Jim was always kind to me, and for that I am grateful. I am sure he will be missed.
