James H. Lepeak

Jim you will be sadly missed by all, and for all the beautiful songs you played and things you did for so many people, I for one will miss you so much, and my regular "hug" I'm so sorry I didn't get to say good-bye. Our thoughts and prayers to your family.

On behalf of the thousands of Nursing Home resident's who, over the years, have been "blessed" by Jim Lepeaks generous spirit and sharing his musical talents. We THANK YOU JIM and may you be at eternal peace.
