Graduated with Jim. Always enjoyed talking with him because he was a down to earth guy. Prayers

I worked with Jim at Lima State Hospital/ Oakwood. We were both Lieutenants then. A very honest and stand up guy. Respected by everyone.

My condolences to Jim´s family and friends. I met him at the Dr. Office where Carol was being treated. I have a beautiful OSU quilt Carol and her quilting group made. May your memories be a blessing and comfort to all of you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We love you! Rob& Joy Walker
