Jim was my "go to" guy at NASA when I had a problem with the difficult G.E. Mass trajectory program. Many was the times he helped us meet our schedules for mission planning.

Shirley & David,
Please accept our condolences for the loss of Jim. Jim was a constant guiding and memorable figure from our childhood. From the clubhouse, to building projects, to trains, to model rocket misfires, to the hundreds of hiding places in the barn, to the numerous borrowed tools, to the long stares when maybe we were doing something that we probably shouldn't have been......I will always cherish the memories. Also Jim's help for the parents continually, during our long times out of the country, were more than a blessing. Thank you. Jim will be missed by many, and especially at the Davis's

Condolences to the Long family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." May God bring you comfort and peace.

Jim was a unique guy, always with his pipe and John Deere suspenders, a mathematician of the highest caliber who had no use for a home computer, email or the internet. If he was at a railroad club meeting before I arrived, you could tell by his old truck in front and the smell of his pipe in the breeze. If a railcar didn't have truss-rods, it was too new.
He loved scouting and trusted in his Lord. I was present when the doctor told him there was no more that could be done, and he received that information very matter-of-factly with confidence that the Lord was in control. When I left he told me he would see me again, if I behaved myself. He knew where he was going.

Jim's friends and fellow members of the Nickel Plate Historical and Technical Society celebrate his life and mourn his passing. Jim loved the Nickel Plate Railroad and was a fixture for many years at the Society's annual Conventions. He always had a hearty greeting and a good story, told with such a Texas twang no one would have guessed his Indiana roots until they heard the substance of his railroad stories. He was modest as to his own interesting career and accomplishments, and many in the Society were only dimly and I completely aware of them. We send our condolences to Jim's family. We will all miss him.

Deepest sympathy to the Long Family. Jim was a long time friend and classmate from his days growing up in Indiana. Jim returned to Indiana for many of our "Fabulous Fifty" class reunions and would share stories of the may things he loved doing while living in Texas.
We "Back in Indiana" will certainly miss Jim.

Rest easy, Mr. Long! We know some people up there are eating awfully good, listening to rail road stories and learning about calculus and parabolas :)

I wish the best for the Family. More than me they will miss Jim and his hearty laugh and pleasant smile. I visited with Jim every time I came to visit my Family in the Houston area. We go back to the time my son joined the Cub Scout troop at the Methodist church in Pearland. Jim loved camping and teaching the boys how to cope with the wide open nature they so enjoyed. We had more than several talks about the positive side of John Deer poppin Johnnies..I will miss my Friend. Rest in Peace Jim and I will see you at some point in time. God has so blessed me by knowing you.

We will miss you dearly Mr. Long. I'm so thankful for your friendship, your guidance and your mentoring of me and my children. We will forever remember your railroad stories, the way you calmed homesick scouts, your love of NASA, calculus and parabolas and of course your Dutch oven cooking. ❤️

Jim has been a dear friend for many.years. He was part of our "model railroad family"
We will really miss hearing his many Indiana stories. I'm sure he will continue telling them in his new home.
We pray The Good Lord will look after his wife Shirley and son David giving them strength to carry on hanging on to their many fond memories of him.

Shirley and family, I am so saddened to hear this news. Jim was a good friend to me and many others during those years we worked together at JSC. He was a delightful person, and a man of high moral integrity. He believed in "doing what was right." He will be missed by so many. My prayer is that God will grant you and the family special peace and support during this time of bereavement.

My condolences on your loss. I was one of the lucky Scout adults that Jim allowed into our camp kitchen. I will miss his smile and his dissertations on the Nickel Plate RR ! Pearland was blessed to have him and the positive impact that he had on so many young men and adult leaders ! He will be missed.
