    Loretta and Joseph, I am so sorry to see this. I know he was a true gentleman and a loving husband and father. I have not been at the clinic for 6 weeks because I am recuperating from hip surgery or I would have been there to pay my respects. Please know you are in my prayers as you navigate the loss of Jim. Much Love, (Sr) Mary Meyers CNP Ohio Valley Health Center

    We were so fortunate to have Jim for a neighbor and friend. He always took time to say hello, share a laugh, and offer help, even when he was not feeling well himself. Just a genuinely caring and kind human, and a loving husband, father and friend. May you find eternal peace in Gods loving arms. Our deepest sympathy to Loretta, Joe and all that were lucky enough to have Jim in their life. Nick and Jane Kaschak

    Great friend for nearly 50 years. Great memories from KSU, concerts, Spring break in FL, and trash talking Browns vs Steelers. Godfather to my daughter. My grownup kids still call him Uncle Kono. My deepest sympathy to you Loretta and Joseph. He made the world a better place.

    I worked with Jim for 30 years, he gave 100 percent and was hard to keep up with. He had a giant heart and was a pleasure to be around. I am a better person for having known him, R.I.P. brother Jim
