Dr. James (Jim) Charles Simpson

I met Jim as soon as I came to work for Dynacs in 2000. I was the editor on quite a few of Jim's articles and reports. He was always fun to work with and called things exactly as he saw them. Though my work is supposed to be that of an invisible assistant, Jim always made me feel like a partner. He always took everything I told him to heart. He used to promise me that I would send him back one of his reports without having made a single change. I came close, but I thought I would have more chances. I remember talking to Jim about his marriage to Amy, and he was absolutely giddy. Amy, you truly are the love of Jim's life. Jim was a true friend to my husband John Taylor, to my son Alex Taylor, and me, and we will always miss him.

Jim was a dear friend and co-worker who will be missed by us for the intensity of his passion for Amy, the pond, the animals and his work.Amy, you are very special to us and we are always there for you. We hope that someday the pain you feel, for the loss of Jim, will subside and the good memories will overcome the pain.

Jim was my first husband and my son Jeremy's father. We were of course married very young and knew little of life. We had many friends and all of them loved Jim.We divorced and went our separate ways still bound by Jeremy and my love for his parents.Later I would be the part time caretaker of Jim's mom Gloria. She was always like a mother to me.When Jim met and married Amy he called to invite me to his wedding. He was so excited to find the woman that he had dreamed about for years.Jim, rest in peace.Amy, you will find your peace.Donna Mace

I had the pleasure to work with Jim years ago on Range Safety, and he was a great guy to work witha�"very patient and very intelligent, and truly passionate about everything he did. He was a great resource for us all due to his great knowledge about everything he worked with and did. In between meetings there at KSC, as we were walking together towards the cafeteria building, I remember Jim explaining a LOT about the local birds and reptilesa�"really all the wildlife there--around Florida, and was amazed by his knowledge of so many things. Our family will be praying for you all throughout the coming days and through the holidays, and may God's peace be with you all.

At one time you became my brother-in-law and the father of my first nephew (Jeremy). I can still remember the first time that I and my parents met you at our house in Jennings. You were wearing white bellbottom slacks. My parents did not know what to think. You were always kind to them and I remember that many many years later, it would be YOU that I would phone for help. I phoned and you came to investigate the family dog (Kelly) who was lying in the backyard-lifeless. It was YOU who would gently wrap her up in a blanket that you retrieved from the trunk of your car. Jim, you said do not worry about Kelly, I will take care of everything. You did what you said. The years would fly by, my parents would pass on, your parents passed on, and then we re-connected. It was nice spending time with you and Amy at the restaurant. The conversation between you and Nick was so technical and thoroughly enjoying for him. It was clear to us and to all around the two of you, that you were in love. Life does not seem fair that you were taken so suddenly, so unexpected from Amy. You had so much more living to do. You will be missed. Barbara and Nick

I always respected the progress Jim and his team were making on their ground-breaking technology development project, but also came to admire Jim for his big heart and great sense of humor. I will miss him.

To one of my greatest friends, Jim Simpson.May all chaos and confusion be dispelled from your soul. May you find peace.You leave a void amongst your friends and family that will not be filled.You have touched many lives and made them better. I bear immense grief that you are not around in this world now, but I find solace that I had the honor and pleasure of your friendship.I am convinced that somewhere in some warp in space-time, we will meet again. I will tell you then what I have said all along when you went fishing, "Jim, put that poor little fish back in the water and let it live". I am sure you would retort as always, "This is the last time I go fishing with Mahatma Gandhi", while putting the fish back. :)There are many stories for us to recollect and laugh over, Jim. Eternity will make time for us to get together and do that.So long, my friend. We will go to Bhutan together in another lifetime. I owe you that debt.Srini

I'm so sad to hear that Jim is no longer with us, but grateful for the time I shared with him many years ago at FIT. He was such a unique and authentic person. I will always remember him with great fondness. My thoughts are with his family and all of us who were fortunate to have Jim in our lives.

In late 80's, Jim took a couple of graduate physics courses from me, a young assistant professor then. Jim was someone who helps improve the lives of others, including me, or improve the system they live under. I miss you my friend. Hamid

Jim was one of a kind. Clever, down to earth, funny, a little eccentric, and cared deeply about the people in his life. A great guy.

Since the day I met Jim at a dusty old blockhouse at KSC, his enthusiasm and dedication to his work was apparent. He became a friend and respected colleague in the years to follow. My colleagues and I here at Northrop Grumman are truly grateful for all that he taught us and for all the great memories.
