Read MoreDear Kathy and Family, I am so fortunate to have known Jim. He took care of my mother during her last illness. He was so kind and gentle with her.

May God hold you and yours in the palm of His hand.

I enjoyed working with Dr. Giles at the old hospital in the 1970s and 1980s. He was our "great" medical rehab director and friend. My wife and I will miss him...he was our favorite.

Kathy,
My heart goes out to you and your family during your time of loss. I will always be greatful for the wonderful doctor he was that saved my arm. And you the most caring nurse I ever met. You both were there for me when I broke my arm and was laid up in the peds ward at the age of 12. You introduced me to my best friend, Johnny Munoz. You and Dr. Giles always made sure I had beautiful flowers since I was stuck in bed. I will alway remember you both.
Love and...

Years ago when Heide and Matt were dating and we were at the Giles house for some occasion and I remember the love I saw between a man and his children; it was very touching. To be loved by your father is a wonderful gift and not to be taken lightly and the love of the children for their father is the gift overwhelmingly returned. We are so saddened by your loss, Wayne and Novita Donovan, Virginia

We will always remember Jim’s smile and contagious laughter. He was always upbeat and encouraging; therefore always enjoyable to be with. His loving kindness and gracious manner was apparent to everyone. We are very thankful that Matt, our son-in-law, was raised by such a loving man.
