Think of you often Jim.

I still miss Jim so much! He was a genius professionally and emotionally. ♥♥♥

Jim was and is part of who I am - he is part of my memories, and will never be forgotten! He was my colleague, mentor, stimulating conversationalist, teacher and friend! I loved him!

I will miss you my brother. We did some amazing work together in the most difficult of times. You always knew how to be soft when soft was right, and tough when it was needed. Rest well, and watch over us.

You will be missed Jim!

Geof, I am in Peru for the year on an NIH fellowship studying zoonotic disease. Mary forwarded the news. I'm so sorry, but we will never forget both Jim's and your generosity letting us into your lives.

What a beautiful last two years I had the privilege of spending with Jim. It truly changed my life. I will miss him but have also made dear friends with Geof and many others!

What a guy! Mischievous and that special blend of serious and light hearted which made him an amazing physician and compassionate member and chair of the Oregon Medical Board. Geoff, family and friends we hold you in our hearts.
