Hermann Portner
I worked for and with Jim in Nice, France. Only today I saw that he has passed away in March this year. I wanted him to know that his and my long term Assistant Ditha Haddad rests in peace since three days/ She died at the age of 80. Dear Pat, I am sure you remember her as well. I present you my deepest condolences for your loss. Jim remains one of my greatest and most kind persons I ever have encountered in my professional life. I will never forget him. Love, Hermann. Portner in Nice, France.
