James Edward Bouch

I carry a part of JB with me everyday, especially in all the details he taught me in the O&P profession. After all these years, I still don't think a day goes by when I don't think of him and miss him. He would always say to me "one thing at a time TB". I have started passing this message along to the young people I now mentor. He was the best mentor anyone could have ever asked for and I hope I can pay forward a small part of all that he so kindly and patiently instilled in me.

He was incredibly good to me. Many days, i would come after a very frusrating day at the Department of Corrections-- and he would just listen.

He loved his workshop. What a wonderful man.

Bim was my best friend since we were kids in South Fork. We remained good friends as we grew older, calling each other on our birthdays. I miss him a great deal.

I miss talking with Jim "over the fence" in our neighborhood. He helped me in many ways. His family directly reflected how he saw the world----being helpful. He was a truly was a good man.

To the Family of Jim Bouch,

I offer my deepest sympathy on the recent loss of your Dad. I only knew him for a short time and had the opportunity to visit with him on several occassions when he was in the Carbondale area visiting the Cemetery where your Mom was interred. Your Dad had purchased the Marker for the Cemetery from me when your Mom had passed away,he was such a genmtlemen. Again, my deepest condolences to your entire family.

MaryBeth, Kathy, Jim and family-my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dad. My father, Paul Robinson, and your dad grew up on Maple Street in South Fork and were, and will always be the best of friends. I still have such fond memories of your mom and dad visiting when I was little and they were always two of my favorite people! Then a couple of years ago my siblings and I had the great opportunity and pleasure to reconnect with your parents at my Dad's 70th birthday party. It meant the...

For the past 32 years, Dick and I have been truly blessed to have the most wonderful neighbors that anyone could ever hope for. Jim and Darlene were not just next door neighbors, they were truly a part of our family and they made us feel like we were a part of theirs! They were there at some of the most difficult times of our lives and I thank God for allowing us to get to know them both! Our hearts go out to the family and we are comforted by knowing that Bim and Dar are together again!...
