I worked with Jim at the UofR Institute of Optics. He will be remembered as a gentle giant. The world is lacking without him.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Rev 21:4)

Cindy was my co-worker at The Genesee Hospital and I got to know Jim through her. He was a very caring,loving person with a terrific sense of humor. He was definitely a very devoted family man. He will be greatly missed by those of us lucky enough to have had our paths cross with Jim. He was a wonderful person.
