Jim was greatly loved by friend Susan Scarborough and her sons, Brady and Colin. He will be missed by former wife and friend, Joanne (Art) Seaberg. Part of a close-knit neighborhood, Jim will be missed by David and Nancy Wearne, Ron and Marjorie Jaschob, Ricé Davis and many others. Jim’s cat, Bob, is lonely without him.
Special thanks to the VAMC staff, nurses and doctors for their excellent care and their great warmth, and to Jim’s caregivers from Intrepid Home Services.
