I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I'm so glad I got to talk to him last week in the ER Department. But I'm also so sorry I didn't get the chance to go visit him and/or send a card. Mary Lou, you and Jim were always so nice to me. I'll miss having him as a neighbor. God Bless you and Jim. Please pass my condolences on to your children, etc. You and Jim will be in my prayers.

The first time I met Jim he was pretty gruff and I was a little intimidated by him. But, my initial assessment of him was wrong and it turned out Jim was the type of guy that would do anything for family. Especially for his girls. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to the entire Locche family.
