I had the honor of working at the Firelands Hospital information desk where I met Jim and his amazing wife, Marge. Turns out I attended school with pretty much all of their grand kids and they both share the same nam as my grandparents. Jim was an absolute sweetheart. He always had a smile on his face, and was so kind. Even when he wasn´t always feeling the best, or when he stopped volunteering but would stop in for his business, he always waved. To the Cremean family, my heart goes out to you all. To Marge, I am sending you so much love.
