“ I met Jim through ILR last November and we became fast friends. He was kind enough to help me drive to my part time home in West Virginia in May. During the twelve hour drive, I discovered what a unique individual he was - so kind, humble, and caring. He was so proud of his sons and spoke of you often. The week before his surgery, we had started working a jigsaw puzzle. I was hoping we could finish it together, but it was not meant to be. I will truly miss his company, but feel very fortunate to have known him.
My sincerest condolences,
Carol Hodges ”
