Jim is one of those folks, and a rare breed today, that always made me feel better after talking with him or being around him. Some of my favorite times were watching him tear up the sod around the golf course, with or witout having been fueled by various nectars. Listening to his "Odd Couple" tales about rooming with Gentry Shaw would bring waves of laughter to any conversation. And, of course, he added many ideas and processes that made the industry much, much better. My pleasure to add a comment on his behalf. Excellent thoughts and an excellent idea Macy.

Ahtough I have not seen him for some time, I easily recall his gentle, yet firm, guiding hand at Long Beach. We spoke when I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer and he gave me many words of fatherly advice. He is a great man who has influenced many. Fatherly guidance is but one of the great gifts that he has given his family, friends, colleagues, and associates. May peace be with him and his family.
