Not sure what to say?

I have just learned of Jim's death and will miss his friendship. We were physician colleagues for 30+ years and shared many unique and challenging patient experiences. Although I don't know his children, I am certain that they are solid citizens of our country. With parents like theirs, they just have to be! My condolences. We never did get to have that "welcome home" lunch at Warfields. I will always think of him whenever I eat there though.

My sincere condolences to Dr Jim's family. Jim was my primary care at the Canandaigua Medical Group for about 30 years, and he will always be considered the best doctor I've ever had. He was always so compassionate and willing to investigate when I had questions, many times with great humor which helped soothe my anxieties. It was an honor to have him be my doctor. Men like him are few and far between.

So very shocked and saddened about Jim's passing. I was very quiet in high school, and therefore, never really got to know him, outside of seeing that he was such a nice guy. Spoke to him at one of our high school class reunions, and he was a great listener, as I was having a hard time dealing with my husbands very lengthy illness and recent passing. It helped to ask himquestions I had, about my husbands illness, and I now see why there are so many accolades to Jim, as he struck me as a...

I was truly saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I count him as one of my long term friends. We were classmates at St. Wendelin (1966) and maintained a long distance friendship since then. I will always remember his smile, that never faded, and his dry wit. His family brought him great joy and his love for them was evident.

My sincere condolences to Jim's family and friends.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

To Jim's family,
I am sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was such a pleasant guy to be around. I graduated with him in 1966 from St Wendelin High School and played his favorite song at our 50th reunion. Moon River.
My deepest sorrow for his family. I'm sure all his classmates will share my in my sorrow. He was always so kind and uplifting.

To all of the Powers family,
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Powers passing. Just truly heartbreaking. He was my doctor for many years and was the best doctor any patient could ever ask for.
May god be with you in this difficult time.

I meet Jim when he first began to practice in Canandaigua and trusted him with my health for 30 years. We used to joke about who was going to retire first and he won. I will always miss Jim's genuine caring demeanor, he was always honest and helped me make the best decisions about my health care.

My condolences to Jim's family. You were all so fortunate to have Jim sit at the head of your table for so many years.
