Some of you that read this may have had the pleasure of knowing or working with Jim Gamble. Jim has passed from this earthly life into Heaven, The Infinite Dimension.

Rejoice in this news, as Jim now is.

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!
