    Jim was a very good Christian friend. I first met Jim in Canada and we worked on many engineering projects together. We traveled to Milan, Italy in 2000 for electrical testing where Jim saw our new-born grandson's photo on his computer before I did. Jim was knowledgeable and always willing to help and explain things in a very caring manner. We compared our Christian roots and shared our belief in Jesus Christ. Jim is with his Lord and Savior now. Karla & I have treasured and enjoyed the High Praises music CD Jim gave us from the South Hills Assembly choir. What a joy it is to know that Jim's faith and Christian values were first in his life and even better, he shared them with others. During this grieving time, my prayer is for Christ's loving comfort to flood Joan, Jim's family, and all of Jim's friends. Jim Cox, Greenwood, SC
