I didn't know Jim for very long as a co-worker, but he was a wonderful man with the kindest heart. If you were feeling down, he was there with a smile and maybe a piece or two of candy. He also gave great advice and cared for everyone, though no one quite as much as his wife ,Nancy. They have a love for the ages. His personality was so bright it was infectious. I am so very grateful I got to know him while I could. His wonderful guiding light will now shine from above forever.
