I worked with Jim at SLC for three years and, until the first lockdown, most of that time was sitting opposite him in Europa House. What I remember most about that time was whatever we talked about (and we talked about a lot of things, both work related and otherwise), he always had an analogy that summed up the discussion. His sharp, often sardonic, wit would pierce through the subject in hand and I would find myself nodding in agreement and laughing and what he had said. I mentioned to him on more than one occasion that he should write them down in book form. As I recall, he almost always would introduce the analogy with the phrase “It’s almost as if…”, which, now, I think about it, would have made the perfect title for the book.
Our working lives are enriched by the good people that we meet along the way. Jim was one of those who, both professionally and personally, was one of the very best. My sincere, heartfelt condolences go to his family.
