My deepest sympathies to you, Betty, Tim, Nicole and the whole family. I was deeply saddened by the news of Jim passing. I worked with him as a patternmaker for 24 years and we retired on the same day. I'll never forget him. He was never at a loss for words, and Steve Lambert is right, his ability to recall sports trivia was no less than amazing. The stories he told of the older patternmakers we worked with had me in stiches many, many times. He always encouraged me that I was a better patternmaker than I gave myself credit for. I have many good memories of our time spent together. We clashed a few times but remained good friends at all times. He will be missed. May God comfort you all during this time,
Your friend
