    My prayers go out to the family during this time of loss and grief. I remember Jim when I was a little girl spending the night w/cousin Sue and helping w/the kiddos! Jim was always kind, a man of few words but someone who enjoyed family and worked very hard to provide. He loved tomato soup, cherry turnovers and most of all coffee!! Although he’s missed by many, eternal life through Christ is peace. ❤✝

    I am so sorry for your alls loss. Words can't express of this sad time. I remember coming over all the time and he would be sitting at the tabel drinking his coffee and we all would gather around talk about fishing and mushrooms. And when he and my dad go kart raced.Will truly be missed.

    I have many memories of sitting around the kitchen table, listening to him, my dad and uncles talk and laugh while he would be drinking his coffee. Sending prayers to the family.
