Jim will be missed by more people than he would have ever dreamed of. Most all of the Herrin Hospital imaging department loved Jim. He was an awesome x-ray tech. He knew what he was doing and taught many students his techniques. He was the best at telling funny stories . He kept us all entertained all the time.May you rest in peace Jim.God Bless the family.
