Jim was swonderful person.loved him dearly.he was my stepbrother. He was the one out of all the kids the I felt the closest to and connected because we had so much in common. He had a sister named Marcia and a brother named Scott another brother name Rusty Rusty his brother also had an unfortunate accident with a vehicle and was hurt severely. Came to visit my mother and his father and Panama City Florida not too long ago and I happen to be there and sure enjoyed his conversations and his personality. His personality was so filled with sunshine laughter and devotion. He talks so much about what he love to do. You could have such interesting conversations with him and educationally. I sure enjoyed our visit. He had come to see his father who he knew was very very ill. His brother scott came also at a later date . And we had a good time talking and reminiscing of all days in New Milford . Jom also came to Cullman Alabama when I was there I got to see him again it was wonderful because I hadn't seen him for years and years and years. That visit would be the last visit that he got to see his dad before he passed. His dad was a gentle kind person and I truly loved him he was a lot like Jim. I would surely miss you Jim may you be doing what you love to do in heaven that you did on Earth. One of our last conversations he told me he hot long ter care insurance like my mother so he wouldn't have to worry in the future .Rest in peace my brother you will truly be missed please tell Russ and my mother that I miss them.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Thanks for sharing this. I feel very sad, but honored to have known and worked with Jim. He is and will be missed. Much love. Sally

It is with enormous gratitude that we reach out to all of you in these moments of profound loss. You have been so generous to Jim with your support, friendship, and prayers. We have struggled vehemently against the issues of physical distance that have separated us from Jim's side. Your kindnesses to, and for Jim, will remain as a light to guide us in the days ahead. Peace be with all, Marcia Igler Bachand (Jim's sister) and Joseph Bachand, (Jim's brother-in-law)

Thank you for being there for him . This is so senseless
