Debbie,
Jim was to me what we all need - a friend - one who asks - "How soon do you need my help?" never thinking of a payback for himself. God obviously needed another friend, and He got a great one in Jim. We shall miss him forever.

Debbie, my heart and thoughts are with you and your family. Jim was a good friend. He will be sadly missed.

Deb and Family- what a terrible loss! I remember meeting Jim when he brought the property on Hancock Bridge. I found out that day he was a fellow Hoosier bonding us right away! He always was more than kind and his "tenantChristmas parties" wonderful-always a wonderful host! He will be remember by his former HealthSouth staff with great affection. Just know...you and the family are in my prayers.

Debbie, Heather, and J.C. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now. Jim is in a great place. He was truly a "one of a kind" and we are fortunate to have had the privilege of knowing you all! He will be truly missed!
