I just today heard of Jim's passing. I was so shocked and saddened by his much to early passing. The obituary summarizes him so perfect. He was one of the funniest, quick-witted(his short temper made me work faster!) PAs I had the pleasure to work with. He was always willing to teach me about the job and I always wanted to learn. Truly a great man and I am honored to have known and been able to work with him.

I knew Jim from working in the ER at Cherry Point. I had the pleasure working with him twice during my husbands transfers to Az and then back to N.C. He was fun loving, loved to teach and was very knowledgeable in many things. He touched my life in many ways. Rest in peace my friend. Many will miss you and your fishing stories.

My heart goes out to the family of my friend Jimmy Regan. I surely will miss Jim's wit, sense of humor, and genuine concern for others. I enjoyed any opportunity to share time with him as it always began and ended with a big time smile. I wish him God speed and peace. To his terrific children, please take comfort in knowing that he is in very good hands. God Bless.
