I first met Jim a couple of months ago as a volunteer for Vista. When I first met Jim he was taking PT in his room. He told me that was one thing her really liked to do. One visit I made with him he was in PT class passing a balloon with other patients. He would sometimes keep the ball as a joke. He was always ready with a smile and loved his PT. He told me many stories about his time at Purdue and his trips with his family. He sure was proud of his family. I will miss my visits with Jim. I am so sorry for your loss. Mel Seitz

Mrs. Brandshaw, Judy, Peggy and David: I grew up right across the street from you on Elk. I have many fond memories of going over to your house. Your dad was so kind and I always thought he was so handsome. Remember the club house that we had in your back yard. The Fidgety Fudge Club - just for us girls!!. I think maybe your dad made that. Many fond memories of your family. Thinking of you at this time of sadness
