Professionally Jim was a successful stress and structures engineer and worked for a number of different companies, Boeing being the last. He travelled the world for Boeing and regaled his family and friends with numerous stories. He had an infectious laugh, led a full life and died surrounded by his family. He was admired and liked by all he came in contact with.
