I have fond childhood memories of my cousin Jim. I enjoyed babysitting him and his sister Gail when they were little. I loved pushing Jim in his baby stroller. I am saddened to hear that he has left us. I am thankful that I saw him a couple of years ago. My thoughts are prayers are with his entire family. He will be missed. Patricia "Patty" Rassler

I am so sad about this, Jim was a good friend at Landon - always smiling and joking! Everyone's favorite prankster! I will remember him always. Prayers to the family.

Jim was my coffee-drinking buddy for many years. He always had a pot brewing for the 7:00 AM crowd. We planned the day, solved all the world's problems, and had many a good laugh!
Jim was truly a gentleman, ever ready with a helping hand and we're so very sorry to know he's gone. My wife, Maureen, and I send our deep felt condolences to the Montgomery family.
Sincerely, Rod Munn

My deepest sympathy to the Montgomery family. I did not know Jim but have the good fortune to have his daughter, Stephanie,and granddaughter,Sailor,as members of the Winesett family. Cherish your memories and speak of them often so his grandchildren and great grandchildren will know him too.
