Dear Judy and Family,
Debbie and I want to extend out sincerest condolences for your loss. FME is an extended family so when we lose one it touches all of us.
It was a honor and privilege to serve along side Jimmy for almost 30 years. Naval Intelligence could always count on him because he was dependable, dedicated, resourceful, and selfless.
No matter how difficult or short-fuse a task was, Jimmy always came through with his one of a kind sense of humor to get the job done.
The Navy and Marine Corp have lots of mottos and famous quotes throughout their history but Jimmy to me always had the best when he would say, “Just trying to work with you hotsie!”
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Semper Fi Jimmy!

Dear Judy and Family,
Please accept my most sincerest condolences for your loss. My heart sank when I learned of Jimmy’s passing, but almost immediately thoughts of him and cherished memories of working with Jimmy flooded over. You have to remember that Jimmy would get up early and stay late, and that work more than likely had something to do with me. Jimmy knew exactly who our duties in FME supported and I always appreciated his extra attention to serve or to anticipate need. His friendship and leadership, his consideration and devotion and his humor and spirit were one of best deals I ever had working in the Navy Foreign Materiel Program. Thank you and your family for sharing him with us, Judy. Our Nation and our Community truly benefited from Jimmy’s service. It was our good fortune to have such a cherished Shipmate.
Big Hugs, Big Al
