Jim was a special person to a lot of people, but to me he was more than that. He lived not for himself but for others. Jim had heart, spirit, and soul. I learned a lot from Jim and a big part of him will live in me forever. The "Honorable Theif" will be missed.

Jim was a great boss and an exceptional friend. Although I've only known him a short time, I loved him dearly. He was a very important person in my life, and he will be greatly missed!
