Dr Jim. I am 74 today. You helped give me a long life after you operated on me when I was 17 or 18 so long ago. My life has been good just as you told me it would be. Thank you for helping me have a healthy life. I think of fried bananas from time to time. B Abbey, Baton Rouge Louisiana

My heartfelt sympathies to the family. My mom (Thelma) was Dr Jim's nurse for many years at FDF in GR and I remember him for things like taking us to the circus here where he volunteered. I will always remember him for little things like that.
