Share your memories

Thank you for visiting. Jim touched many lives and his physical presence will be greatly missed.

We welcome your comments, condolences and memories

Please tell us when and how you came to know Jim and what you will remember about him. What interests did you share? How did he touch your life?

  1. Sharks vs Penguins. Hope you enjoy it from your perch above. You waited for it for 25 years ! PS who are you rooting for?

  2. Jim and I worked together at Autonomy. He was such a great guy- he was loud and crazy but was so honest and was a good mentor to me. It was an honor and a privilege to have known Jim. My condolences to his family.

  3. I used to work with Jim. What a great guy. The thing I most remember Jim by is that he genuinely cares about the people. You will be missed Jim. RIP

  4. I worked with Jim at Novariant. I will always remember his sarcasm and the high propensity to using the F bombs! I learned from his vast knowledge in our field of work! You will be missed Jim! My prayers will be with you and your family/friends.

  5. Where do I start with Jim? Jim was my very first boss, and hands down the best boss of all times. He took me in and gave me a great start in life. He was my mentor at work, and continued to be my mentor in life. Thank you for your continuous support, friendship, and love. You will truly be missed – love, your kiddo.

  6. Jim and I met in the early 90s through a mutual friend. We didn’t see each other often, but we stayed in touch through the years sharing life’s ups and downs. When his health issues prevented him from driving, I badgered him until he let me take him to a doctor’s appointment. He didn’t want to bother me, but I wasn’t working at the time and the kids were school, so I was happy to help him. I remember going into the doctor’s office with him, and as soon as they asked for his insurance card and ID, he just about blew a gasket. He started going off on how they already had this information and why did they keep asking for it, plus a few other choice words (and if you knew Jim they were quite colorful ones at that). I had to say something to defuse the situation. So, I told him loud enough for the staff to hear too, “Jim, just calm down and behave yourself”. That seemed to help a little. Jim, I’ll miss your random phone calls and hearing you call me, Kiddo. Thank you for your friendship and love. Rest peacefully now.

  7. I worked on a team project with Jim for one of our MBA classes in 1985. He was a fun, fast, and furious kind of guy! Rest in peace.

  8. I’ll never forget the first time I met Jim. It was in the back of the room of an MBA class in 1985. I admired his cavalier attitude and sense of humor. We always teamed up in those classes and I always benefitted. Did I mention he was whip smart? He did our taxes for years. Facebook got us back together. I always found myself agreeing with his political views and opinions. He sure didn’t suffer fools gladly! I liked that about him, plus love for his pets and loyalty to his teams. I’ll miss him. Rest in peace, Jim.

  9. I hired Jim at Novariant, a start-up and again hired him at Nordic Windpower, another start-up. The fact that we worked together at two companies shows how much trust I had in his skills. Loved his sense of humor and his attitude to fighting crisis. The world has definitely lost a good human being. May his soul rest in peace.

  12. I met Jim when we were both working at Plantronics in the late 80’s. He was a good friend who helped me move a few times. We shared beers, tax tips and job leads over the years and he constantly talked about his dogs, family and the Sharks. I have no idea where Jim goes from here, but I’ll bet he gets there fast. I remember one time we were driving over Highway 17 to play golf and he must have changed lanes 100 times to get a few extra feet of road. Energetic is probably one word that everyone who knows Jim would use to describe him and I’ll miss that energy.

  13. My prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

  14. I will always remember the wonderful Thanksgiving you cooked for me, Jennifer. . .and Max. One of the best!!

  15. Wally, I met Jim in ’86 (or so) in CA when we did our MBA together and through our many years of close friendship, he spoke of you often and treasured your friendship very, very much! He is with us now in spirit and I believe we will all catchup again in the next life.

  16. Jim and I met when I got a job at Sub Station (pizza joint in Randallstown) in 1973. We became quick friends. We went to school, worked, drank beer and dreamed of our futures. We rented an apartment in Baltimore in 1977. Remember it was the Disco era! In spite of all of our fun times, we both finished college at night and became CPAs. As we settled down, I married Nancy in 1980 and Jim married Bonnie in 1981. They moved to California shortly after that, but we remained in contact over the year catching up and seeing each other now and then. Best memories are getting off work and hanging out together for a few beers at his house or mine and talking until we fell asleep. A particular memory was our roadtrip to his brother Rick’s wedding in SC. I was his date and we had a great time! I’ll miss that I’ll never get to catch up with you again, brother. : (
