I was so sad to hear of the death of my friend and co-worker many years ago at Pikes peak Mental. Even though we lost contact with each other, I never forgot him, the years we worked together and our friendship. To his family I send my love and prayers.

CC and I worked with Jim at Detox for several years. He was a man of conviction and pride and loved what he was doing to help his fellow man and woman rid themselves of addiction. It was a blessing working with Jim and we know he is sitting with the Lord.
