I worked with Jim at St. Anthony’s hospital for several years as we were both RN’s. Lost track of him about 20 tears ago. Rest in Peace Jim
He was truly a great nurse and dad.
I was a classmate of Jim’s at St. Mary’s (South Side Catholic) High School. I remember him being a man of integrity. My condolences to the family. May the Perpetual Light shine upon him.
Thank you so much
Rest in peace fellow dragon. Condolences for your family.
