Dan Dybwad wrote a sympathy message

“I had the wonderful experience of knowing and the being lead by him at GFG. I first met him at an office supply store. As fellow IBMers we hit it off immediately. Ultimately, I came to work for him as CIO. He was a born leader, and I admired him greatly. He treated everyone he worked with so well, and created amazing loyalty. Thanks so much Jim. Rest in peace...Dan Dybwad”
