I knew Jim through American Chemical Society - he was a real gentleman, and you could always count on him. I'm so sad to hear he passed away. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I shared a lab with Jim at Nalco for four years when it was located in the Clearing District. Jim was an honest, hard-working gentleman. He taught this young PhD a lot that I have never forgotten.

I am sorry that Jim has died but know that he is now with Bonnie and our Father.
