Very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. Haven’t seen Jim since 1973 when I worked at TW with Jim. 40 years at TW, that’s quite a feat. Was friends with and Bob since grade school days in Avona Heights . Kirkpatricks were an excellent family. Wish I could have seen Jim again at some point. Did see Bob in boot camp in USN in 1969. Jim was one of the good guys. My condolences to all members of his family. Jim will be missed .
