“I had the pleasure of being connected with Jim during his career at Erickson. And I had the privilege of working with Jim directly when he moved to Florida. Jim possessed an energy and a warmth that was infectious. He was highly committed to his work and to the mission of serving people...always looking to make things just a little bit better. I will miss him tremendously. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family at this time.”
