Jim became such an inspiration to so many. Courageously battling cancer for the past 3 1/2 years, he lived his life with dignity and a positive outlook, never letting the disease control his life and left every Dr. he met shaking their heads in amazement.
He will be fondly remembered but greatly missed.
