I remember Jim as being a caring man, an aspect of his personality that I doubt many people saw. After leaving IUCN, he didn’t forget former colleagues, remaining concerned about the health of those who’d fallen sick, even ‘chivvying’ me for their news, so when my husband died, I knew he’d be caring towards me too. And how! He and a fellow Canadian colleague invited me and another IUCN widow to his homes in Banff and Wilmer before continuing to Edmonton. I was overwhelmed by this kindness.
