Back in the late 90s my daughter who was in the army had been deployed and she called out there at work at Learjet and needed to talk to me HR wouldn’t put her through but somehow Jim got wind of it and he told HR that by golly they would put that call through to his office he called me into his office so I could talk to my daughter what a great man he was and truly a very patriotic American
Hi Cheryl, I was so saddened to note Jim’s passing. I always admired him because – unlike us marketing people – he actually understood how to build airplanes! Take care, and may you only remember the happy times. Dave Carter
Oh Cheryl my bestest of friends! I wish that I could take your pain from you. Jim was a wonderful man I know he was your best friend. We had a lot of laughs together at Patti’s “fun” parties. Remember the good times with him, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and family. Love you girl. Pam smith
Nice guy
