I am truly sorry to hear of Jim passing. He was a great guy and very generous.  Through him I was introduced to the great game of golf and enjoyed his company on many rounds at Reading.

So sorry to learn of Jim's passing.  In case you don't recognize the name it probably has been 25 years since Kaye and I visited you both in  the Houston Area.  My time with Jim was back in 1965 as a member of the new  Humble Oil training group in Oak Brook, Illinois and the following years with Exxon until you both moved to "headquarters" in New York.  We had tried a time or two to meet for drinks when we found ourselves in the Northeast, but it just never worked out.  I'm truly sorry we didn't connect earlier.

I have many very fond memories of Jim from Humble Training (first job), Old Town Chicago,  Skiing in Colorado, Golf (of course) and one or two out rageous parties that Alex and Jim hosted in the Dallas Area.  I was just walking down memory lane  today and learned of his passing.  As you know already, I also thought of him as a great guy.

My good man Jim, a diehard Syracuse graduate and fan, had many great times since working together nearly 50 years ago.  I worked for Jim at Exxon, carpooled with him, and we were neighbors in Danbury, CT for years.  He was the best boss possible.  We were very close friends and I will miss him terribly every day.   I had planned to finally play lots of golf with him since I just joined PGA Golf Club a few weeks ago.  Jim is the reason we bought in PGA Village years ago.  I know Jim will be looking down on me and insuring I do not improve my lie out on the golf course, so he will be in my thoughts often.  

How very thankful Tom and I are to have spent the Fourth of July with you, Mary, and your family, along with Diane and her family.  It was a joyous reunion of childhood friends.  Those memories and reconnection are so precious.  We extend our deepest sympathy to all of you and know Jim was special to the Walter family as well.

Fran and I are truly sorry for your loss.  Jim and I shared many memories together, including a great trip to Ireland, a love for performance cars, and similar backgrounds and work experiences.  We will miss him!
