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

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
