Glen and Laura, Anna and Amber, & family,
We are sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. God bless you all.
With warmest regards,
Mike & Terrie Hoehn & family
My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Brickey family. Jim was loved by everyone who knew him — the messages on Facebook tell just a few of the kind, helpful way he had. He was especially dear to my brothers and me as a fun loving playmate and neighborhood friend who will always be remembered.
Love, Susan
Our sincere regrets about the passing of Jim, we know some things are expected but until it happens you hope for the best. Jim could not have had better people loving and looking over him, I know Jim lived a simple life but all the little things you did for him made life for him alot easier. Let this time of sorrow be aided by the happier times shared with Jim and family. May God bless you during this time of healing and sorrow.
Glen,
Sorry to hear of your loss. I never knew James but I heard good comments from the two of you.
May God’s peace cover you during this time.

James came to live at the Carden House when we first purchased in late 1990’s. He was a wonderful man. We truly loved having him there while we owned the facility. Just came across a note on the Carden House website from James’ sister. Please know how much we cared for him. You know, he could be tough at times, but all in all, a really sweety guy. Whom we will truly miss.
Thoughts and Prayers with you and your family. James, too.
