Jim died at home June 20, 2015, in Douglassville, Pa., after a short illness.

He was born Jan. 7, 1927, in Reading, Pa., and came to Princeton after Army service in Italy. Jim majored in psychology, roomed in Holder with Dick Greene and Charlie Price, and graduated in 1950. He then went to medical school at Northwestern, graduating in 1954. Jim’s internship was at Philadelphia General Hospital, which was followed by a residency at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City.

He started an internal-medicine practice with two associates in Pottstown, Pa., where he also established the cardiac and general ICU units and served as chief of staff at Pottstown Hospital. After retirement in 2003, Jim volunteered at Community Volunteers in Medicine in West Chester, Pa. He and Lucy, his wife of 36 years, kept horses and were longtime members of the Limekiln Hunt. They were also opera fans, gardeners, tennis players, and cooks.

 Lucy survives Jim, along with his daughters, Carolyn and Julia; and his younger brother, Thomas.
