I just now learned about Jim’s passing with sorrow. I worked with Jim at Standard Microsystems from 1987-1991. After I was laid off he gave this depressed former co-worker a referral to what became my re-entry into a very successful engineering career. It might well be said he rescued me from impending obscurity when I was in depths of self doubt. A true friend who lived his deep faith. His family has every reason to be proud of his memory. R.I.P.
