I am shocked to learn today, 3/25/14, that Jim passed away. Chris, I am so sorry. I just came across the notice today and could not believe my eyes. My condolences to you, Michael and Kristen. Jim was a great guy and was very well respected when he was with United Medical. I could ALWAYS rely on Jim for anything. He was a real professional.

To the Gaydos Family,
I am stunned by the loss of Jim. I saw him a few years ago when we run into each other at a hotel. We instantly renewed our friendship from our days at Becahi at students, wrestling team members, and a great friend. His friends share your loss.
