I had the pleasure of caring for Jim at PeopleCare. His passing was deeply felt by all of the staff. Jim had a smile and a spark of fun that would not be denied. He was just a delight to be around. I pray that you will find comfort in his memory and joy for having been a part of his life. God bless his family.
