Jamie was my beloved little cousin. He was a delight as a child; full of joy and a slight touch of mischief, no doubt the influence of his older siblings.
He worked for me as a dock builder after high school for some time and earned the admiration of his peers in a tough industry.
His Marine Corp, community service and devotion to his wife and family speaks volumes.
If anyone ever needs to know the essence of a real man: talk to anyone who knew him.

Mr. Gould taught me to buck rivets in sheet metal. How to inspect welds and calculate bend allowances. I spent a good amount of time discussing techniques used for the FAA Airframe certification. I truly would not have passed without his guidance and expertise. he was a great friend and mentor. he will be truly missed.
On behalf of class 414, To his family and close friends we truly feel for your great loss.
