My condolences to family members. I worked with Jim (Stoney) at LTV (Vought Aircraft) from 1968-1979m(when I left LTV) on the A7 and S3A programs. He was a great co-worker and friend.

I worked with James (Stoney as we new him) at Vought Aircraft on the B-2 Stealth Bomber Program. He was alway so courteous and respectful to all of his managers and co-workers. I will alway remember when he retired he would send me a Christmas card every year and always asked how my family was doing. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Thanks for all the great memories you help make with the Burkes!

Thanks for being a great brother to my dad. Even when you were far away, you always made the time to care for him. He always looked forward to your calls and your yearly visits. Now your spirits get to enjoy heaven together.

Love Mary-Jo & Hubby Jim (" the guy with the funny name")
