James was undeniably a brilliant and caring surgeon and physician, and CEO and founder of Midwest Vein Center. But more importantly, he was a devoted husband, father, son-in-law, grandpa, uncle, and brother-in-law. Known to the family as "Uncle J" and "Papa," he never hesitated to help out friends and family with the most generosity and support. While his brilliant mind and hard work resulted in many authored pieces in medical journals, high honors and awards, elected positions in offices and on boards, his legacy goes far beyond his awards and contributions to the medical field and his patients. James was a passionate musician and a lifelong fan of music and the arts, travel, food, animals and nature. Being the most caring and compassionate doctor to his patients was only overshadowed by his immense devotion, love and support to his beloved family.
