Not sure what to say?

March 25 th , we were all there to celebrate the life of an amazing man. It is said no one crosses our path on our journey thru life by accident. I believe this to be true. All of us there and those who could not be and knew him would also agree that we were all blessed that on our journey thru life, that Dr. James James crossed our path. Helping each of us to find our way to look forward and make our world a better place. He will remain in all of our hearts . I worked with him starting...

I´m so sad to hear the news of Jim´s passing. My heart is heavy for Sandy and the entire family. He was good man, a kind neighbor and a generous soul.

Words are truly not enough to describe what Jim meant to me. He is the reason I am where I am, and the catalyst for me achieving most of what I have accomplished in my adult life. Jim - together with Sandy - was like my adoptive parent, who welcomed me in their family, helped, supported and guided me in my new, adopted homeland from the very first day I had arrived in the United States several decades ago. Today, I am extremely sad and heartbroken. My endless gratitude to you, Jim, for...

My condolences and prayers to Sandy and family. For 30 years, my children were patients at JDC Pediatrics with so many wonderful pediatricians who had a great role model in Dr Jones. But prior to that, I met Dr Jones at Polyclinic working on the pediatric floor, and then became the respiratory therapist for the Cystic Fibrosis Center. It was obvious his patients loved him, as did the team working with him. We also worked together on the Great Strides for CF committee. I will always...

Dr. Jones was an inspiration to me from the moment I met him when I joined the Cystic Fibrosis Center team back in the 1980s. He always showed tenderness, care and compassion for his patients and their families. He was a true example of how to love and care for one another. It was a great privilege to know him and work with him. To say I admired him is an understatement. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Jim led an exemplary life of service to others. His care for the sick and for children alone made him a great man. Yet, he did so much more by pursuing peace and environmental protection. He made the Harrisburg area, Pennsylvania, and the world better. I personally owe a debt of gratitude for his support of PennFuture and my work there. I miss him now and will always. Thank you to Sandy for her contributions to PennFuture and for her love and devotion to Jim. John Hanger

As a young nurse, I was working in the "premie" room at Polyclinic Hospital. No NICU then. I called Dr Jones 5 times about an infant. Each time he was patient with me, though 3 of the call were unnecessary because of my inexperience. When I had children, I went to his practice. I love the way he talked to the child not parent until he had finished with his patient. He had a calming influence. I´m sure being a pediatrician was a calling for him.

Mrs. Jones' and family you have my deepest sympathy! It's hard to find the words for how wonderful, kind, caring, and dedicated he was to his patients...I was one of them. I would not be here to day if not for Dr. Jones, no one could figure out my continued illnesses, but he did and immediately sent me to a specialist and both of them worked diligently to save me. He was my doctor until I was 19, mostly because of our long doctor/patient relationship I found it hard to trust another doctor. ...

My heartfelt sympathy to all the Jones family. Dr. Jones was a terrific person & wonderful doctor. He will always hold a special place in our lives & never leave us. Bless him
