To Jim's family and friends, I remember Jimmy from the first grade on...we were always in the same class with each other, it seemed. He was kind and a fun person to have around. I remember him so fondly, and grieve with you in this time of sadness. Peace,

So sorry to hear about Jim. He and I argued politics every day on the way to junior high. (Probably were the only two junior high students there who thought about politics). It is always a good memory. Peace in your time of loss. -- Lilias Jones Jarding, Rapid City, S.D.

Dear family and friends of Jim, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim sat in front of me in some classes in school. I always enjoyed running into him many times over the years at the Glenview Library and at Sears, when he worked there. He had a kind and gentle manner. God bless you. Autumn (Debra Blaul) Wiemer

For your friends and family "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (2 Cor 13:14) as we remember Jim.

I remember Jim from Junior High. He was one of the first boys to ask me to dance. I remember it was a song by the Four Seasons.
He was always sweet and a gentleman. Although I haven't seen him since highschool, I remember him fondly.
Blessings to his grieving loved ones,

Jimmy,
You were always so warm, sweet and thoughtful whenever I was over for a barbecue or just to visit your mom. Always with a smile and wondering what you could do next. Make sure you give my love to your dad and tell him how much I miss him and his "tomatoes"..
God bless you.
With Love,
