I had the pleasure of taking care of Jim as well at Some Place Like Home. Such a sweet kind man he was with a nice smile and eyes that sparkled.

My manager there, and every co-worker LOVED Mr. Jim.
I just found this online as was thinking about the residents at SPLH.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
I only knew him a few months, but he left an imprint on my heart.
I pray Mr. Jim is up there riding around on his favorite Harley and being free to do all he did in life.
