In nearly nine years of blogging about prostate cancer, I’ve learned that there’s a small but very supportive community of fellow patients fighting this disease.

That community just got a little smaller with the passing of Jim from “Yet Another Prostate Cancer Blog.”

Jim and I never met in person, but he was the person who commented on my posts and emailed me more than any other person. We both shared a passion for photography, and he followed my photography blog, providing his commentary there, too.

I knew this day was coming, but it came upon us sooner than expected.

Jim was an inspiration with his strength and attitude. He’ll be missed by many.
