Please accept my sympathy at this sad time. I have known Jim through his volunteer work in our Emergency Department at Elmhurst Hospital. I will never forget his dedication to his job and his great sense of humor. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was an ER nurse too @ Elmhurat Hospital.
Jim would come in regularly in the wee hours of the morning, even in inclement weather...to help the night staff in the ER.
He became a member of our ER family, and we loved seeing his happy face.Rest in peace Jim.

I too was a Nurse in the ER at Elmhurst hospital, and that's how I met Jim.
Jim chose the wee hours of the morning to come in (he was our volunteer) ,as the night shift needed the help.Inclement weather didn't stop him.
He was a special friend to all of us, and I feel that he is in a special place now.
My Condolences to his wife, and family.

He will be missed.I'm a nurse in the E.R. at Elmhurst Hospital and worked with him for years. I always looked forward to seeing him greeting patients, keeping the coffee pot filled or bringing his home baked "goodies".He took such a personel interest in the people he met. He always had a friendly hello in the Jewel when I would see him, asking about family and "what happened at work? He always said it like it was. A very caring sweet man. His memory goes on.
