I met Jim about 15 years ago when I began volunteering with Cyphas. He was a great mentor; his comments in group were always thoughtful, made lovingly, but honest, direct and to the point. He was able to draw on his own life experience without condicention. Later, outside of Cephas, Jim introduced me socially to match point bridge and welcomed and encouraged me as his partner. I have continued to enjoy that game with new partners here in Indiana, since moving here three years ago. I think of Jim often; he did a lot of good in his life. I was impressed with how he faced his physical challenges with great courage. He will always be on my list of hero’s.
