Marie and family,
Just recently I spent a luncheon with Jimmy, for veterans at Applebees with some friends of Willow Lake We had a great time. Jim was always jovial..As soon as I heard--I said a prayer. He will surely be missed by many, as you and Jimmy have many friends and family who love you.
I walked in your shoes Marie years ago..Stay strong and healthy.. We must be grateful for the times we had spent together with our loved ones who are no longer with us.Thanks for his service to our country as well. May he rest in peace in heaven.
God bless you!

MARIE, MICHAEL and FAMILY of JIM;
Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I knew him since our days at Falconer School and after that hanging out at Little Rome Pizza with Ron Holowicki & John Ellinger. We had a lot of fun together. I think the last time I saw him was in Hayward, WI years ago when our families happened to be vacationing there at same time. I found out about the news from John Ellinger who joins me in expressing condolences. Chris Schwelle
