We met Dr Plouc ha just before my husband´s surgery at the Apollo Durgery Center. He was so congenial and spoke to us for about fifteen minutes begire the surgery. He took my cell phone number so he could text me during gbthe surgery and keep me informed. After they wheeled my husband into surgery he went yo the rest room and never came out. He was unconscious in there after they prayed the door open. We only knew him for fifteen minutes and we were taken by his personality and genuine caring. May God bless him and his family,

Jim was so sharing and special. He made everyone comfortable at all his homes. One day I was post call and he asked if I wanted to go for a ride in his little plane. I said sure half awake. Little did I know it was an aerobatic plane and that we would be doing a death roll in it. As we went straight up and began to roll over backwards his window flew open. I thought the plane was falling apart from the G- forces. When we landed he said "wasn't that great". I said, " no, I thought we were going to die." Jim was always enjoying himself and making life enjoyable for the ones around him. He is truly missed by me as a result of the years we worked and played together in the past. What a great host he was for all. Thanks Jim for the memories of the good times and pranks we played on each other. Love you.

What an interesting and accomplished person! I went to high school with Jim - never knew him well - but always felt his distinct intelligence, and his uniqueness. Warmest condolences to his family. A huge loss.
