"I have know Jim for about 10 years, now. He was my company IT go to and he was efficient. Non stop to solve the issues. And, it goes without saying he had a large personality that had me getting into it with him and I appreciated him. During his last weeks and last few days, he made the time to let me know to seek other support and what his final days were to be. He was thinking about us. Thank you for your support and friendship, Jim. RIP, best regards and love from Steve and Sharon "
