Read MoreJoan, my deepest sympathies. Jim was a great guy, and a very devoted friend to my dad! I enjoyed ski patrolling with those two! I had a hard time keeping up with them! I will miss him!

Sorry to hear about Jim. Our family just found out about his passing. He was a good friend to Harry. He came to visit him quite often when he was ill. They talked about all the ski trips that they went on. Harry and I loved him very much. I will miss him.

Joan, I was so, so sorry to hear of the loss of the love of your life. Jim and you have always been such a huge part of Northview. I remember you having soup dinners at your home for our Highlands staff and your hubby always being so kind and helpful. His energy and yours is something all of us strive to have. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
