I met Jim volunteering at Huron Hospice and I always looked forward to seeing him when I went in for a shift. He kept such a great sense of humour and that is an act of courage when you&&single&&re going thru&&single&& what he was. My deepest condolences to Nancy and Carrie and Melissa and Kevin and the many friends and family whose names I&&single&&m sorry I don&&single&&t have. You should be proud of the wonderful way you were there for him and kept him surrounded by love. Marge Blokker
