I learned only recently of my friend's death. It comes as a shock. Jim was hsenior PhD student in my lab at UC Davis when I began 32 years ago. He was a kind and reliable mentor to me. I have many stories I would like to share with Aaron if I could find a contact for him. If someone who has contact with Aaron knows him, please ask him to contact me or provide me with Aaron's address.

I'm really sorry. Even I had worked with him for only 7 months last 2001 in his lab in Ithaca, I always remember his passion to research. I'll miss him. My deepest sympathy to his son and family.

Jim was a brilliant scientist, an amazing teacher, and a great friend who looked out for his students and had a special place in his heart for animals. I feel privileged to have worked in his lab at Cornell and to have been under his tutelage. He will be greatly missed.

Bright mind, great heart and a drive to discover new phenomena and create a better understanding of it all. We have missed him here at Cornell and appreciate all he has done for us as individuals, colleagues, and friends. Jim has left a lasting mark in rumen microbiology, in teaching and safely feeding the world. Jim Russell taught us to pursue the truth however difficult that might become.

Jim was highly respected as a student by Lee and has remained a friend of the entire Baldwin Family. Through the years, Jim had always made time to speak with Lee, usually very late at night, and debate current issues facing the animal science community. Following Lee�s death, Jim communicated with our family through Randy to be sure things were running well in the household. His concern was very much appreciated. He will be missed greatly and thought of often. The Baldwin Family Mary Ellen, Randy, Cheryl and Rob.

Jim has certainly influenced the lives of those who had the opportunity to work with him. His enthusiasm for science, discipline, cleverness and detailed - also frequently humorous - stories will be kept alive in our minds. Jim always had a unique way to look at and to do things. It was a privilege to learn from him and share his passion for microbes and cows. He will be greatly missed and always remembered by colleagues and friends. Our prayers go out to Aaron and his family.
