Jim was a wonderful colleague with me at Allergan and I really miss him. Although we did not work together everyday we interacted often and I quickly came to respect Jim as a good human being. Always courtesy, always professional, always competent. His death has touched me. My famalie’s prayers go to Jim’s immediate family and close friends.

I am deeply saddened by this news. I worked with Jim when he first joined Allergan. Last summer I ran into him backstage at Pageant of the Masters and was surprised to find out he was an annual volunteer. It was the first year that my daughter participated. Jim was always a bright face to see at Allergan and in the community. Although I saw him infrequently over the last 10 years, he was always kind,friendly and truly showed interest in my family.
I will miss him.
