Terri and I are sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was a wonderful boss and friend. He was not only a premier dentist in Washington but also mentored many dental technicians. Jim made a tremendous impact to my professional career and I will never forget him personally.

Rose and family, I will miss Jim's huge smile. He was so giving of his time to this community. I'm selfish in remembering all he did for the Boy's Ranch and the Foundation. My life is better for having known him. What a great man and what great contributions he made to make our lives better. He truly left us better than the way he found us. My thanks to your family for letting Jim share so much of himself. Our prayers go out to you. Terry Neal
