I worked with Jim and traveled all over the world with him for many years. We retired at about the same time, and continued to meet annually during our wintering months in Florida. Jim was a great guy, and I’ll miss him. My condolences to his family.

Jim was my boss for seven years. He hired me as sales manager for Middle East and supported me wholeheartedly to be successful in a difficult market. We was a kind person with a good heart. Sad to hear of his demise. Here is a Quranic prayer apt for the moment.
