Jim was a man of infinite and unconditional love. Everyone who met him, loved him. He was proud of his family, his faith, his country, his Army service during the Korean War, and his Ohio heritage. He loved history, big band music, the Ohio State Buckeyes, ketchup, Blue Bell ice cream, nature and especially animals. He always had room in his heart and home for any stray that found him. Jim's family would like to thank his physicians, caregiver Cathy Perez and the staff of Prestonwood Rehab and Nursing for their loving care and friendship.
