Not sure what to say?

Jim, I'm a little late, as I just found out about your parting. Ever since those few years taking care of you at the old Centre Crest, you have been a dear friend and mentor to me. You have aided me in my endeavors with your wisdom and have helped me to be a better man than I would otherwise have been. I hope to find where your resting place is so I can talk to you one more time, and you can be sure I will pour out one last Yuengling for you. Until we meet again. I love you, Jim.

Sorry for your loss , I remember Jim from the Undines , and would see him now and then at centre crest , he and Clarence Lyons were on the same floor , they had control of the remote in the common area. I would say how you doing old poo poo , he would laugh , and say your the old poo poo . Prayers to you all.

Knowing what you have endured and accomplished by faith in Jesus Christ has been a blessing to me. Your love and care for Beth until the Lord called her home has demonstrated the true love Jesus calls His followers to show. I am honored to have known you. Marguerite

Jim was a true friend to me during our years-long association at CANNON Instrument Company. I will always be inspired by his work ethic, perseverance, and Christian faith, even in the midst of great adversity.

Well done good and faithful servant! I met Jim when my father, Jack McClenahan, was a resident at Centre Crest. They became great friends and Jim became family to us. His faith and perseverance through all was a gift to those who were blessed to know him. He always expressed his thankfulness that the Lord was with him in his affliction and set such a wonderful example of what faith can do if we look to him in all things. Thank you Jim.. see you later good bud! Love you. Linda

Dear Robin and brothers and family of Jim. My sincerest sympathy for your loss. Jim was a Godsend for my husband while he was a resident and roommate at Centre Crest. I always appreciated and enjoyed Jim's and my discussions about the state of the country and our political views. He was a very courageous and strong man. I know he will be missed by you all. May he finally rest in peace.

To Robin and the rest of Jim´s family, you have my heartfelt sympathy. I was Jim´s med nurse every evening for many years and I enjoyed many fascinating conversations with him. Despite his disability he pushed to do anything and everything he was able to do, and in that respect he was inspiring. He will certainly be missed.
