I worked for Jim for several years and he became a dear friend. There was a pattern of discipline and efficiency in his work habits. He would get all the sticky scheduling issues resolved by 9 am
and then reward himself by filling out The Sun’s daily crossword puzzle which never took him longer than 15 minutes. He liked to say to me with a smile, “You have to kiss the toad before you get the handsome prince”.
He was clever, quick, so fair-minded, such good company. There was a lightness and sparkle in his outlook. I am so grateful to have known him. Fare thee well Jim.
