I was friends with Jim at Purdue   What an amazing person   Sad to see he has passed   Prayers to him and his family

Jim was a kind and mild mannered guy with a heart as big as his size.  He left us much to early and I regret now talking to him more.  Our hearts and prayers go out to his sisters and his wife Leslie.
Rest in peace, Jim!

Jimbob,
50 amazing years together.  So many great memories. My heart still bleeds. So hard to comprehend.  I miss you pal.  So many things remind me of you.  I will miss you everyday. 
You were a very special person.   We played so many sports together, traveled and non stop laughing and smiles.   I will cherish everything. 
Pals forever, 
Eddie. ( Jay H)

Jim was one of a kind. Big Jim or J Ro as we liked to call him at CompHealth always had time to talk and often had a story about a person or animal that he was currently helping. He also LOVED to talk about his wife. He had a HUGE heart and was a true gentleman. The way Jim managed his time between work and the community was very inspiring. His clients LOVED him and his providers looked to him for guidance. He always made me feel that there was more that I could be doing to give back and surely made us all better people. He will be missed greatly by so many. Jim made the world a better place and I will NEVER forget him. He left his impact on so many people and places.

Our brother Jim was a wonderful, humble and fun loving "big guy" who got so much out of helping others.  Volunteering and helping others was his passion and how he would most want to be remembered.  Jim will be missed by so many ... family, friends (including all the cute furry ones that he helped throughout the years) and the many in need that he touched with his kindness.  He helped make the world a bit better with each act of his kindness. We will miss him, always.
His sister, Lauren, and niece, Morgan

As a life long Purdue basketball fan myself and my family LOVED Jim.   He was a blue collar, hard working, five it all for the team player and was the heart and sole of that team.   Very sad to hear he’s gone, our heart felt condolences
