Condolence: I wish to convey my deepest sorrow to all family and friends of Jim's passing. I know how you felt about Jim.He lit up every room he entered I'm sure. I just learned of his passing from Wentworth Institute via our quarterly alumni magazine. Jim and I were friends in class when he was a teenager and his affection toward all was a brilliant light then and I'm sure his whole life. He was unique and bold and brass and kind to all. I always wondered how my friend made out in life and I see he was loved and had a great time living and working. you all were lucky to have him in your life. I miss him dearly and am quite saddened by his passing. I was looking forward to meeting him at any of our future WIT gatherings. He was sharp and very quick witted and knew his stuff. Again, my deepest condolences to all.

Condolence: I worked with Jim for many years at Varian. His sense of humor and silly antics will be missed. He always found a way to make our Thursday morning meetings a little more interesting and entertaining. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Condolence: I'm another Varian/Applied Materials Co-Worker. My thoughts are with Jim's family and friends at this time. Jim was a great guy. He will be missed by all of us.

Condolence: I worked with Jim for almost 20 years. He was smart, funny and loyal. He was like the sea Captains of old, an old salt. He had a heart of Gold and he would watch your back once you got in his good graces. A big character and we are going to miss his smile around here for a long time to come. God Bless and rest in peace Jimmy.

Condolence: Please accept my condolences on the passing of Jim. I had the pleasure of working with Jim for the past 15 years.

He always had a joke and his Jim-ism's will be missed. May God embrace you all during this difficult time.
