God was in a great mood the day he created Jim. I have never known a better guy. We worked together for close to 20 years, took many trips together and played alot of golf over those years. You could not ask for a better friend. In 2022 I went through a battle with cancer and Jim was so interested in how I was doing and provided more support and encouragement to me than I deserved as he was going through so much himself. My wife met him for the first time at West Cancer Center when Jim and I were both there getting treatments. They talked for hours that day. When we left she said she felt like she had known Jim her whole life. She immediately understood how wonderful, caring and funny he was. Thank you for the friendship Jim. You will be missed. I'll see you on the other side.

To a better friend than I knew , what great times we had from high school through college and more. We are all blessed to have had a person like Jim in our lives and though we are saddened by his passing he is no longer suffering and in a better place.

God speed Jim, you will truly be missed.

Jim and I worked very closely together for over 10 years. We took countless trips to Camarillo, CA together and I cherish those memories. He was like a father and a brother all in one to me and he will be deeply missed. I hope to see him again someday. The Bean family has been and will continue to be in my prayers.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Tommy Duke

My condolences to the Bean Family. I remember I first meet Jim at CTSI golf tournament. I was new to the company and very nervous about playing. Jim gave me a warm smile and a friendly greeting that eased my nervousness.
