James L. Trinkle

One of the things I've found somewhat difficult to deal with as I age is that you just don't have or make new friends - like those you had when you were growing up. Now I've lost one of the few real friends I had left. His honesty, sense of humor and dry wit will be greatly missed. God speed, Jim.

Uncle Jim was one of the kindest and wonderful men I had ever met. He was always one to call you up out of nowhere just to see how things were. I had not talked to him in a while, and will forever regret not being able to say goodbye in person and not allowing my infant son to know and love his uncle Jim, as I had. He had a way about him, that radiated wisdom and at the same time showed his genuine personality and respect for his loved ones. May he bring all those in heaven as much happiness...

Dr.Jim came into our lives about 20 years ago when Sandy brought him home to meet our family for the very first time, not always an easy thing to do.He was under the watchful eyes of my parents and my husband Jim.I was immediately impressed with him being a doctor. He seemed very intelligent and always had his nose in a book. His sense of humor was dry and it was hard to tell sometimes when he was making fun of me.

Jim Trinkle was a kind, compassionate, and caring Father, Husband, Friend, and Colleague. His pride and joy was his son Josh and the love of his life, Sandy. I truly appreciate the opportunity to have him be a friend.
This past January, I missed the Cleveland Academy of Osteopathic Medicine's January Conference and my biggest regret was not seeing Jim Trinkle. We would usually spend at least an hour catching up in the hallway.
Two weeks ago, I was coming out of a meeting in...

I am a college student at Kent State and work at the Ace Hardware store in Hudson, this is where I met Dr. Trinkle or Jim as he instructed us to call him. I am very saddened by his passing and send my condolences to his family. Jim and I would walk around the store talking about tools, the Mountains of Pennsylvania and of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Wheeling Nailers. I grew up in the Ohio valley and Pennsylvania area and we had many similar intrest I will miss not seeing him in the store and...

I worked at Wadsworth Rittman Hospital as a Security Officer. Dr. Trinkle and I were about the same age. He was kind to me and when I applied to become a Deputy Sheriff for the Medina County Sheriffs Dept. he did my physical exam. One day Doc and I spent the day driving to 3 or 4 sporting stores looking at archery bows. He was a fine man I'm a better person for having met Dr. Trinkle. I always called him Doc. God Bless Dr. Jim Trinkle and all of his family. Dr. Trinkle spoke often of his Son....

I'm grateful to Dr. Trinkle for his acute diagnostic abilities which I believe saved my husband's life.
A couple of weeks ago Dr. Trinkle and I were laughing about how, for years, he celebrated the anniversary of his own heart attack on the wrong day. Sandy didn't have the heart to tell him he had the dates wrong til this year :} I will miss Jim.
