Most of the best parts of me as an administrator, a colleague, and as a friend to others are modeled after the things I learned from working next to Jim for 15 years. I count knowing him as one of the greatest blessings I’ll ever enjoy and I will carry the thought of him with me all my days. He was a man of steel – with a heart of pure gold.
