Jim,
It's been many years since we last spoke. However, I will always credit you for helping influence me in our industry. Though I left Northwestern Mutual nearly 15 years ago, I will always hold my 6 years there in high regard with many special memories. Several of those years are thanks to you and our relationship.
Thank you!

Jim, will be missed by all that knew him. He was always a friend and confidant through the years as a fellow Managing Partner at NML.We had many trips together as fellow members in a MP study group and I had the pleasure of attending one his famous Lads and Dads fishing trips to Canada as well as a train trip across Canada and hiking up a mountain with Jim and Kathie at Banff. MP annual meetings were always be remember because of my long conversations with Jim on many varied topics covering business and philosophical life topics. I am saddened to hear of his passing but know that his impact upon everyone he touched will always be remembered fondly. My sincere thoughts and prayers for Kathie, Andy,and his beautiful granddaughters at this time and may God bless and keep them and may Jim rest in Peace.
God bless,
ED
