Shad Branen wrote a sympathy message

“I didn't know Jim well, aside from talking at the annual NATO conference in Milwaukee. We spoke again this year, and sat near each other at the Brewers outing on July 25. He was hit in the arm by a foul ball early in the game. Jim shared a story about catching a foul ball at another game in the past. He clutched the ball through much of the night and appeared quite happy of the accomplishment, even if it happened in a painful manner. Here's a photo from the night. So sorry for your loss.”
