I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I never met in person, but spoke with him over the phone for the past 2 years. He was very cordial and entertaining. I will miss those funny stories he told. I am very sorry for your lost.

Jim was one of the most knowledgeable people in Environmental Safety and Health I ever met. His work ethic was outstanding and he was one of the best employees I ever supervised. I considered him a co-worker and a friend. My condolences to his family.

I was sad to hear about the passing of Jim. My condolences go to the family and pray that Jim passed in peace. I first met Jim when he came to work at Henniges Automotive. He was always willing to answer any questions I had regarding environmental issues. I knew his health was failing him toward the end, but he never let that stop him from completing whatever task he had going on at work. So sorry for your loss.
