I was so sorry to hear about
Jim's passing. I didn't know him
well, but he was always a
genuinely kind and friendly man
and a pleasure to work with. I
truly appreciated his continual
interest in doing whatever was
needed to ensure the well-being
of LCS. He'll be remembered
fondly.
With sincere sympathy
