Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Jan, mother Molly and his two sons Chris and Steve (and their families).
I have considered Jim a close and good friend, knowing him now for over three years, we spent daily Skype telephone calls sometimes lasting 8-10 hours! He was a very smart man with extreme motivation and skills. He was a true living man, a teacher, a friend, a loving father and husband.
Jim you were a blessing! A true bolide!
He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. RIP, Jim Gamble! Amen!
