Nhs
I remember would make his rounds around the building at NHS or come to my office to fix something. He would usually sit down and talk for a while....He always had a way to make the day better. He could always find a way to make me laugh. And he would always drive me to work when my car was down. I will never forget him.

One of my favorite NHS coworkers
Jim was a great guy to work with. He always had these stories to tell that would have me in stitches. He helped me clear out my garage one time and would drive by the house every now and then to make sure every thing was okay. After he retired he would come back to the office to visit it was one of the bright spots to my day. He will be greatly missed
