Jim
     When I first started reading the board and posting you were one of the most responsive, positive and informative people here by miles.  Thank you for all you have contributed.  I'm sure there are many people like me who benefited from reading your posts to others as well as your responses to our own posts.
     I'm sure wherever you are going to focus your attention on now there will be people just as lucky as we were to have you here.
     Best regards.

Hi Jim!

Just saw your post this evening.    Hopefully you will be more than busy with plenty of fun things in your future plans.     Thank you again for your kind counsel and words of encouragement, now five and a half years ago.   You have helped many in their own personal journeys and struggles.   Good luck to you, and hopefully we get a chance to finally meet in the future!

Warm regards,

Jim,
Thank you for all your help to this forum, and to me personally as well.  You were a most excellent moderator.  The time you gave to this forum was so very, very admirable.  It says volumes about you as a person.  We have all benefitted from your presence here.  Best of luck to you. I know you will do well in all you do.

Wow! I guess it has been a while since I’ve checked in here!!

Jim,  how can I thank you for all you have done here on the forum (and in person) for so many of us? You have been a wonderful moderator and your words of encouragement and sharing your experiences were so instrumental in getting me, and countless others, thru the very difficult AN diagnosis! Its because of you, and many others here, that Rich and I were able to settle our thoughts enough to make an informed decision on what my treatment should be. You will surly be missed here, but I hope you will pop in here from time to time and I will do the same!

Take care,

Thanks Jim!  I remember reading a lot of your posts when I was first diagnosed.  You were always very informative and sympathetic.  Best wishes!
