		+
		+	This is indeed sad news. My condolences to all of Jim's family.
		+
		+	I look at the nearly forty years that I had known him. The first
		+	impression is of a devoted family man. Anna and the family was always
		+	his first concern. My professional relationship with him was a
		+	pleasure; he was always honest, sincere and intelligent. These are
		+	wonderful attributes which must be dwarfed by the tragedy of recent
		+	times.
		+
		+	With very sad thoughts,

     Dear Tim:
-    I am very sorry to hear the news. It is a terrible loss for his family and all those of us who loved and admired him. On the other hand I think that his death was a blessing for him given his condition. I will keep in my prayers together with your mother.

		+	Dear Tim
		+
		+	Colin Brown has just emailed me that your Dad has died.
		+	We send our deepest condolences to you and your family.
		+
		+	We haven't seen Jim for a number of years though we did visit each other
		+	when he was at Purdue and he came to Bristol UK where I live on a couple of
		+	occasions. We used to meet up regularly at international conferences.
		+
		+	I remember your Dad as a very friendly and kind man who always had time for
		+	everyone. He was encouraging of me and my work in a way I will always
		+	value and remember. I know these words are only a small comfort at times
		+	of loss but I did want you to know how much he was valued by someone so far
		+	away in the UK.

		+	Tim and family:
		+
		+	Your dad was such a kind man. While leading Civil Engineering at A&M, he treated
		+	all with equal courtesy and respect - it was his nature. He somehow seemed to always
		+	see the best in everyone even when there was plenty of reason to see otherwise. I
		+	remember foundly his years with us and join his many friends and colleagues in the
		+	sorrow of his passing.

		+	== Larry and Dottie Soong ==
		+
		+	Dear Tim:
		+
		+	We were so sorry to hear the passing of your father. Your parents and we
		+	had been close friends for over 40 years, and had been in close touch until
		+	your father retired. We were close not just as friends but also as
		+	colleagues working in closely related fields. We have fond memories of them
		+	spending a month at Buffalo with us, and of attending your father's
		+	retirement symposium, where we also had the chance to see you and your
		+	family again.
		+
		+	Your father was good hearted, generous, truly a scholar and gentleman. It is
		+	comforting to know that he spent his last few happy years with you and your
		+	dear family. We are sorry that we will not be able to attend his funeral. We
		+	extend our deep sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers
		+	are with you. Fondly, Dottie and Larry Soong.
