Peter and I think Judy will remember me. My sister Ruth sent a copy of the obituary, and I obviously then located it on the Internet. Please accept my condolences. Your dad must have been quite young when I knew him! But we thought WE were old then! It's amazing - time is.

When I think of Uncle Jim, his marvelous and all-encompassing smile comes to mind...that and the twinkle in his eye after a good story. I was reminded of this at the 2006 Sinnen Family reunion where he shared stories of life on the Chanhassen farm. My heart is with you, his family. Be comforted knowing he is at peace and cherish your memories.

My sympathies to your family. Judy, what a sweet photo, and beautifully written sentiments and memories. Your dad inspired many wonderful qualities in you Judy, and I 've enjoyed hearing how much you admired him as both a loving and devoted husband and father. I'm glad to have had the opprotunity to have met him. What a good and decent man. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May their soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

My thoughts and Blessings to you all,
Although I only knew Jim for a short time I know he will be missed by so many of our midwifery families. Many of the children who walked through the open doors of his home will remember his fine garden , his lovely relaxing swing and his delightful smile.
Rest in Peace Sweet Jim,
Blessings,
Emme

We will miss Jimmy's wit and charm but will never forget it! To me He's one of the last of a generation that I truly admired and enjoyed over the last 40 years or more,both on the water,in the woods and around the table at night with a favorite beverage in hand. May God bless him.
