To all to whom Jim was dear:
I remember when he came to work for WCCMH, a quiet, gentle, caring person who stood up for what he believed and worked to help the staff he supervised do the best job they could. He had a great sense of humor which came out when you least expected it. He will be missed by all who knew and cared about him. The loss never goes away but the pain does lessen.

I loved and respected Jim in the 25 years that we worked together. He was the calm in the storm and a haven when there were pressures and problems. His first thought was always for the clients and how to serve them better. May God Bless Jim and his family at this very sad time. He was always a blessing to those of us who knew him at CMH.

Jim was my coworker and friend at Michigan Ability Partners. I will always remember the kindness and compassion he had for staff and the people he served. He is a gentle soul and had an amazing sense of humor and calm demeanor. He was there for me through the hardest times in my life. The world is already a darker place without his presence. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones in this time and always.

I am stunned. Jim was someone I could always depend on when we were board members together in our neighborhood association. Not only was he reliable, he had a wicked dry sense of humor. God speed.

Jim was a very important part of the FRIENDS group at St. Thomas Church and was instrumental in my path to healing after divorce.
It is good that he was surrounded by his loved ones as he made his transition to eternal life. God bless you all as you continue on without him.
