I am so sorry to hear of Jamie’s passing and my most sincere condolences to his entire family. He was a great person and will be deeply missed.
❤️
I would like to express my deepest condolences to Jamie’s family for the sudden and much too early loss of a colleague and a good friend. James worked with us from day one when our small family business operated out of our basement. Originally hired as a computer specialist, he quickly became the go to person for diagnosing and fixing all our computer or software issues. Because of his calm demeanor and thoughtful analytical approach I also frequently sought his input on business planning and decision making. Also, his end to end understanding of all aspects of the business allowed him to be instrumental in training new staff members to effectively do their jobs. He will be sincerely missed.
Besides business stuff our conversations would often switch to sports, where he would elaborate with great pride on how his daughter Janee was excelling in all her activities but particularly in basketball. Janee’s current high level of play and success is probably due in some measure to her father’s countless hours of help and support along the way. I am sure this is not lost on her or the rest of the family.
James was also a music lover. When working alone at the warehouse, staff would often play their favorite music loud. I would always know it was James inside when I opened the door and could hear Led Zeppelin playing.
Those are some of my thoughts – I am sure there will be lots more stories and memories at his celebration of life. RIP Jamie.
My condolences to the whole family at this sad time
