Jim was a wonderful friend, father, and husband. In his professional life he was instrumental in the design of the reorganization of AT&T. He was a great car buff and loved NASCAR. He was predeceased by a son Geoffrey, and leaves behind a wife; Mary, and two children Jodi, who lives in California, and Brian who resides in Florida. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be sent to NO Child Hungry in Jim's name.
