Jim was my brother-in-law for 10 years. A brief period in time but long enough to understand what the true definition of a man is. Its cliche, but SeniorChief Mayo was one of the most admirable people I have ever known. His dedication to family and career was second to none. Jim touched many life's with his kindness and selflessness. You will be missed. Bravo Zulo Senior Chief. Bravo Zulo
