He was one in a million! Gentle, kind, always entered the work center with a greeting a matching smile - after riding his bike to work! It was nice to open this and see his face once again. Kate, Katie and Sean, may your memories comfort you as you remember your husband and dad this holiday season. He will always be right there within your hearts.

Kate,
How it saddened me to learn of your loss today.
You and Jim made each other's eyes "sparkle" so! Just walking into the same room together seemed to make the entire room light up and be merry!
May it comfort you to know that others share your sorrow and are keeping you close at heart in thought and prayer as all of you travel through this difficult time.
Watch for that brand-new, shining star up there; he'll still be sparkling down at you if you look really closely; and in your own time, you'll be sparkling right back.

For 10 years Jim was my boss, mentor, father-figure and friend. I miss how he loved to entertain himself with language, and how I could make him laugh with little stories about the funny people I would encounter throughout my day.
I think wherever he is now, he is amused by his surroundings, and probably slightly lost...I'm sure he's already misplaced his keys. I will miss that item in my job description - keeping track of his keys for him.
I loved Jim, and that love extends to his family. Kate, Sean and Katie - never hesitate to ask if there is something I can help with.

My heart goes out to the Winslow family. I enjoyed working with Jim and his amusing and clever emails. He was a sweet and fun colleague. Even during his most trying times, he would smile and say "Hey! How the heck are ya!?" He was loved by everyone he worked with! My best to the Winslow family.

Jim: As half-brothers separated by 12+ years in age, and by completely different life paths, you and I had far too few interactions. Nevertheless, I enjoyed greatly those interactions and I feel genuine grief and a real emptiness over your passing. Love you, Bro!
Kate, Sean & Katie: My sincerest condolences to you - your brilliant husband and father lived a very honorable and contributory life; thereby making it a fulfilling one, especially for its brevity!
Kate, Sean, Katie, and Sandra: As much as possible, even during my impending deployment to Kuwait, I will endeavor to establish a much stronger and more frequent brotherly & avuncular relationship with each of you. I know Jim likes me making that promise, and will approve my keeping it.
