Jim was indeed a very talented architect who I was privileged to have known and worked with for many years at W H Saunders & Son in Coventry. His breadth and depth of knowledge coupled with his skills in numerous abilities was remarkable, together with his kindness and generosity made it a pleasure to work for and with him on countless projects. He will forever be remembered for his clear thinking, fairness and support particularly in challenging situations.
