Uncle Jim will be sorely missed. Throughout the years he continued to be the brother my father looked up to and respected. My father spoke of his sense of humor that never left him. My sympathies go out to all his extended family. I know Jim and my dad are in heaven "clowning around" this very minute.Love to all.

Dear Therese & Family,



Danny and I are so sorry to hear of your father's death. Having lost my Mom and Son in the last two years, I have great empathy for you. I am so glad you could give him the gift of your voice in the end...what a treasure for you all! May the many fond memories you shared and your faith in a loving God carry you through your road ahead. Sympathy and Love, Debbie & Danny Nestle

Dear Doris,



I can't even begin to express how very sorry I am to hear of the passing of Jim. He was a great man,

who was admired by many. In my opinion he was a REAL PERSON- "the salt of the earth"- a rare very special kind of human being!



I will miss him, but I am thankful

and honored that I had the opportunity of knowing him! If I

could find a way to ship those "Magic Cookie Bars"- that I

make, that he loved so, to heaven- I would! Because I am sure that is where he is!



All My Love
