Jim McCullough. one amazing man. His generosity helped save thousands of animals . When we had board meetings Jim was always so happy to know our positive results. He loved helping animals not only through his financial support but also by volunteering. Even when he was feeling poorly , we had to say " Jim..slow down..we can do that! " The epitome of a wonderful , giving volunteer and human being. The world will miss Jim McCullough.

Bob, Kay and Graham: I am so deeply sad about Jim's passing - but I have only known him for a few years and only as a friend. You, though have known him much more intimately and for so much longer. You must be devastated. My only words to console you are, "it is only a temporary separation." May the next few months find moments of peace and happiness for you all.
Bob, please know I love you and will forever. --- Sally Adams
