"Dear Judy (and family), Jeannie and I were very saddened to hear of Jim\'s passing. I met Jim about 10 years ago when Dan Cleland hired both of us as project managers at Westwood, and from day one I really enjoyed working with him. He was not only a very good engineer/project manager, but an easy guy to be around. He was always upbeat, always honest and fair in everything he did, treated everyone with respect and dignity, and was always a pleasure to be around. I remember one time at Westwood after he had eye surgery his eyes were very sensitive to light. I can still picture him sitting at his desk in sunglasses! Even after leaving Westwood I thought often of Jim and hoped he was doing well. You can imagine our shock and sadness then when Dan informed us of Jim\'s passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and all of Jim\'s familly. With deepest condolences, Tom and Jeannie Beck"
