Jim was among the first to send me a note of congratulations when I first joined the OHA executive team in 1976. I well remember Jim offered to assist me in any way he could, and I subsequently came to greatly value his wise counsel.

Everything Jim did in his professional life was devoted to the betterment of our hospital system. He was a true gentleman, and a man of consummate integrity.

It was a great privilege to have known him.
