I feel privileged to have met Jim and to have learned from him in person
and from the work he left us. His passing is a great loss to 9fans and all
those who had the chance to meet him. My deepest condolences to his family
and friends.
The first time I met Jim was at a (mostly) 9fans event one evening during
Supercomputing in 2005. The second time was enroute to Madrid for IWP9
2006. On that occasion, out of nervousness and fandom and to the point of
annoyance, I talked and asked him questions incessantly. He was very
patient with me. I had hoped that we might convince him to attend the next
IWP9. He will be missed.
I've attached a picture from the SC|05 meetup at Pike Place Brewery. I
believe Audrey (nee Andrey :) ) took the picture.
