My sincerest condolences are extended to Jim's family. My first job after graduating from University, was working in the group home that Jim resided in. Jim was always such a genuinely cheerful man with a huge smile and a very unique laugh, that you couldn't help but to feel just a bit happier yourself. I enjoyed working with Jim and I know he will be missed. Charlene Eckstrom
