I worked with Jim at Dugway. He was a programmer at Information Management. A very pleasant & quiet guy. He always had a smile on his face. I remember, when he wrote programs with the shortest pencils. I told him here’s a bigger one & he always turned me down. This one is fine he would say.
So sorry for your loss, he will be missed. Prayers to you and your family at this difficult time. May he Rest In Peace.

Jim was a quiet very patient man. Our kids did a lot of things together growing up. We enjoyed spending time with Becky and Jim and their family. God Bless you Jim.
