Dear Sue, Kathy and Family,
Words cannot express how saddened I am for your loss. Jimmy was like an older brother to me and I have many fond memories of him. How much he and Bill were into their fish and aquariums, upstairs with Jim, Billy, cousin Kenny and Kathy trying to teach me how to dance. All the time spent with him on vacations, commuting to work with him to Grief Bros. Jimmy had the uncanny knack of finding humor in almost any situation. He was the only person our Scnoodle 'Misty' ever went after! That shows he was really a unique guy! My thoughts and prayers are with him and your family.

Dear Sue, Jeff, Kevin and Adam,

We are so sorry for your loss. Jim was a fun sarcastic guy who could always make you laugh. He was also kind and caring. He shared some very loving thoughts with me when we spoke about Elizabeth. I can't imagine how much you will miss him. Now the Lord has reunited him with the family that have gone before him. Our prayers are with you and if ever you need anything please call on us, we love you as we do our own family. Our sincere condolences.

Dear Sue, Kathy and Family,
We are sadden by your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Growing-up, Jimmy was like an uncle to Mark. He took him to White Sox and Blackhawks games. He always helped out with football coaching, camping with the boyscouts, and a quick oncall babysitter. Funny memories of vacations in Rhinelander with him will be cherished forever. May God Bless you during this difficult time.
