To Lori, Gillian and family:
I had the opportunity to work with Jim at Galileo International about 6 or 7 years ago. I heard of Jim's passing today and I am very sadden by the news. I thought of you all first, as he spoke of you all constantly. He seemed to be such a dedicated husband, father and friend. May you be comforted in knowing that he loved you all very much.

I just found out about Jim and I'm in shock as I'm sure you still are. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I apologize for missing the service her in Illinois.

Lori, Jon, Matt & Gillian - so very sad to learn about your loss - which is also my loss. Jim and I worked together many many years. I can still hear his voice - he always brought joy and laughter to any task we happened to be working on. His memory will always live in my mind. My mental library of his humor will never tarnish. Jim will always be with us!! My prayers are with you and Jim. God Bless.
