Tough job for that kind of family problem. Hopefully they have a good support group in place when he is on the road. Best wishes to Mr Cantore and family.

I knew his wife had Parkinson's but I didn't know about his two children. Makes you admire him even more!

Wishing nothing but the best for Jim and his family!

Thanks for posting it Brent!

I've always liked Cantore and this article does nothing but increase my respect for him. It has to be tough to be away from his family as much as he is during this time of year.

Best wishes to him and his family.

After seeing the frivolous, superficial-based threads over the last couple of weeks of "fan clubs" for OCMs Stephanie Abrams, Christina Abernathy, etc., this article puts those in proper perspective. Cantore is worthy of something far greater than mere fan adulation...it's called respect.
