My sincerest condolences to Jim's wife Debbie, sons and daughters, immediate and extended family members, and friends.
I didn't know Jim for long but it didn't take long to know that jim was a good person. Jim as I knew him, was a mild mannered person, soft spoken and a fun guy to chat with. He sometimes came to the Starbucks coffee shop at McChord Field and "Shoot the Bull" with the boys. He would laugh at a joke even if it wasn't funny. I didn't serve in the Army with Jim but I knew that as a Command Sergeant Major, the highest enlisted rank in the United States Army, he assumed great responsibilities as a leader of men. The position required total dedication to duties and loyalty to his. Jim did and Jim was. I will miss Jim very much but I will always remember him as I knew him.
