I am shocked to learn of Dr. Jim's passing. I have been getting adjusted for 15 years and he was the best chiropractor I ever had! He adjusted both of my children at 2 weeks old. He was determined to get rid of my sons allergies. He was very caring and thoughtful. He will definitely be missed by my family!

Wow, very sad to hear of Dr. Jim's passing. As patients, my husband and I enjoyed his ability to fill a room with happiness as well as his skill to straighten us out in so many ways. His encouragement to us personally was sweet and tender, and ever-present. I had meant to get back to see him upon moving back into the area; such a huge loss to our community but such a blessing in his time. May God put His arms around Dr. Jim's family, friends and Harleysville Chiropractic.

I'm still reeling from the news about Jim. He was the first classmate I met while moving into my apartment to begin studies at Sherman College of Chiropractic, and we became fast friends. One of my best memories was in neurology class, where during reflex practice and armed with an orthopedic hammer, I accidentally hit his funny bone nerve instead of the intended tendon. He chased me around the room 3 times before we both collapsed in raucous laughter. In talking with him over a year ago, it was as if we never left off, even though we let too much time pass between calls. Jim always had a smile, a quick wit and a big heart. My heart aches tonight over this loss. I wish Sharon (I remember your visit to AZ years ago!), Randy & the entire family much comfort and God's blessing now. I know Jim always drew strength from you. Rest in Peace, my Friend. You will be missed by many.
