His peers and fellow EASAns always held him in the highest regard. Jim 安德森 was an achiever who set high expectations for himself and for others around him. He was determined to live his life to the fullest. He was determined to take his limited education and soar to the top of his profession. He was determined to start a new 业务 at the age of 56 and take it from a crazy idea to a company that is an industry leader. He was always determined to find solutions to engineering or technical problems. He was determined to live a life that served his family, 教堂, 朋友, 业务, 社区与专业, and finish his life with dignity.
