Dear Roxanne, I learned of Jim's passing and im so sorry. I worked with Jim starting in q984 when he was a new recruit to Devers. Jim had such a nice disposition and funny. He would make us all laugh regaling his great stories of various situations he found himself in through the years. I wish you peace during this difficult time.

Roxanne - Karen & I are saddened to learn of Jim's recent passing. We have many wonderful memories of Jim and you at OMRRA events throughout the 1980's. Of all of the corner workers that we got to know, you and Jim were by far the most welcoming and supportive. You guys stood out from many others. Remembering some of the end of year OMRRA banquets, we can picture your smiling faces as we concluded another year of successful racing. But, what we remember most was not the racing victories...

Dear Roxanne & Family, Working with Jim for over 20 years, was never a dull moment! Jim was super kind to patients and even long after he retired, patients still ask about him. Jim's sense of humor made light of some tough days. So glad Jim got to retire and feel the freedom of retirement. We know he is keeping the folks up "there" on their toes. Jim was a good human and I was lucky to know him. Prayers and hugs to you Roxanne and Family. judy & Robert
