Jim was a very special individual, extremely technically talented, a gentlemen with a certain character that drew people towards him. Within our circle of the Defense Community, he was highly regarded and gained a reputation of the "Go To Guy" when it came to solving complex issues. He will be remembered for his huge contributions to the defense of our country. Above all a great friend!
I did not know Jim personally. But I am forever grateful for him (and his wife) The love he had for my wife and helping raise her as a child will never be forgotten. he was such a blessing to her. Speaks a lot to his character as a man. I only hope that his legacy will live on through those who knew him and he will be a great example on how one man can change someones life forever.
