Jim Cartwright was a friend that I and many others admired so much. You could always count on Jim to help you, or give you good advice. I had the good fortune of working with Jim for many years at Hallum Tooling and I learned a lot about tooling and life from him. After Jim went back to work at Boeing we hunted together and worked on the many projects that he and my Dad had going there in Chautauqua. He was a good man and my memories of Jim will always be some of my best ones. Rest in Peace Jim
