  1. My condolences to the Hosel Family. I always enjoyed catching up with Jim. We had some things in common: both from Massachusetts, Army veterans, and security consulting. We played golf now and then – but I think that Jim just invited me because I was the only one he could beat! My God bless you, Jim!
