Condolences to the Family. Jim was an outstanding crew chief, when I was scheduled to fly his aircraft, I would ask if it was ready to fly, he would reply "Yes Sir", so I would go directly to the cockpit and not do a follow up on what he checked in preparing for the flight.
Pray God will comfort you and Family with his Grace and Mercy.

Dear Wilma, as you know, Jim andI go back many, many years from Korea to our retirements from USAF and Air National Guard..I knew him as a co-worker and personal friend. I regret not visiting with him more often and I know that he will forgive me. I will miss him. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. God bless.
