Saddened about Jim’s passing. He was a sweet man and I enjoyed his company, especially over a nice meal at various restaurants around town (Los Alamos, NM). Great sense of humor. He did indeed love the creative process of software development.
Uncle Jimmy will be very dearly missed!!!! I enjoyed our conversations, Thanksgiving visits with us and will always remember each of us driving 4 hours last summer to meet up for dinner in Kansas City, talked for hours and laughed a lot. He was a kind soul and will be forever in our hearts!
Jim was a very intelligent, kind soul who cared deeply about his family. He was my brother-in-law but more like my brother. He would spend Christmas with us most years. He was a special man and will truly be missed.!
We are so sorry for your loss. We hope happy memories of Jim help comfort you. Praying for comfort and safe travels for all friends and family.
Jim was my friend since 1978. He was smart, kind and fair minded.I will miss him.
Uncle Jim, I know it’s such a late message to be leaving at this date, but I think of you often. You were a stellar uncle! I know you loved my mom, Barbara, your half-sister, beyond measure. You truly are very missed. No one has anything but kind memories in regards to you. Until we meet again…
