Jim was a gentleman and a hard nosed businessman who gave his very best to our community. Thank you Jim.

And Pat - our prayers are with you.

I fondly remember Jim as a key element in the success of Memorex Corp. I wish all the best to his family in his passing. Like my father who passed away in 1993, I'm sure Jim has taken over management of a key part of the next life. Go get 'em Jim!

Wonderful man, professional and family, knew him well when i worked for him at Memorex. Great sense of humour and never took himself too seriously, i will miss him and my best to the family, Jim may you rest in peace
