I am saddened by this news. Jim was generous with his knowledge, industrious,
inventive and a wonderful craftsman. I was his Galootaclaus recipient this year
and I will cherish the carving mallet, scribing awl, chisels, and objects I make
from the wood he sent me for years to come.

Jim, I will think of you each time I use these things.  I hope you find good
pickings in Heaven.

Charley, please extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family.
