He was a nice guy and very talented.
Jim had been doing occasional jobs for me over the last decade or so and he
was always a pleasure to work with.
I will miss Jim.

Hi all,
I read the news and I know we will all morn the passing of Jim Asman. I
know Jim always went over and above when asked a question. He really knew
his stuff and was not selfish about sharing. That characteristic alone is
highly valued among our group of professionals. But he was also a great guy
in his own right.
I feel like I should write an obit in PCL, but I leave that to others that
are more talented than myself.
Nancy
