approached his life with optimism and faith.  He had a smile that could

light up a room.  Jim thoroughly enjoyed his work as an Orthopedic Surgeon,

broad.  He enjoyed traveling, hiking in the North Cascades, playing tennis

with his wife at the WRAC and spending time with friends and family at the

Jim leaves behind many broken hearts to those who loved and knew him.  He

was  committed to his family as well as his community and found joy in

serving others.  Even during his final days, he never gave up his optimistic

attitude. He did not let cancer take his spirit.  He will be greatly missed
