I had the honor to care for Jim as a nurse. His sense of humor and playful spirit made any difficult day easier. He was such a light in our clinic and a true joy to care for. I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing but know that his spirit and zest for life will carry on in our hearts. I will never forget one day where he was not feeling the best and was not doing too well. I asked him how he was doing and he replied "well I feel like dancing." That was a perfect description of his soul. No matter what was thrown at him, his soul was always dancing. He was one of those patients that you just don't forget and a patient that reminds us nurses why we are so passionate about what we do. We adored him and he will truly be missed. I am happy to know that he is now dancing with Jesus in heaven.

Jim always had that smile and a Christ like attitude and a willingness to
be of any help he could to customer both in the grocery store and at
the Bible Bookstore. We always seeing him and knew that he loved the
Lord and was a true servant of Him.
To his family I offer my condolences and a prayerful support.

During the years of 1968-1970, I worked at Kennedy's in both the Grocery Store (Dairy Dept) and the Garden Store. I credit my work experience at Kennedy's as having a positive impact on me in my work life thereafter (US Army, General Motors, and US Government).
Jim was a young manager during my time at Kennedy's and directed my work activities. Jim was a good manager and a good friend. I value and appreciate my time with all the managers at Kennedy's. I have always thought of Kennedy's as part on my extended family.
I am very sorry to hear of Jim's passing.
