He always took pride in letting everyone know how proud he was of the success of his family.
He was a member of the Mountain View School Board for 29 years, where he served as President and he was recently honored for his dedication and service to the school and community. He was a member of the Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative, Valley Energy, Citizens' Electric Company, Mountain View Alumni Association, and Maplewood Cemetery Association.

Carol and Family,
In my years as Mountain View superintendent, I was always impressed with Jim's dedication to the school and his community. He worked hard and pressed for decisions that were for the good of the students. He loved Mountain View, his farm, his gardens...but most of all, his family.
I send my sympathies and prayers.

Brandon, Bristol, Jeffrey, Bridget, Christina, Olivia and Carol - Jim was a memorable influence on my life from my days as summer help on the farm in my Jr and Sr high school years. His presence at our many family gatherings was always memorable. He will be missed.

Christina,
I was shocked to learn of the passing of your Father. You are a wonderful person and that comes from having wonderful parents. Your Dad will be forever in your memories of him. I hope in remembering you find comfort.

My dearest Christina... It has been such a pleasure to get to know you over the last couple of years here at Cornell. I can tell by the great person that you are that you have wonderful parents. I am heartbroken for you (and your family) to hear of the loss of your Dad. You know your Father will be with you in spirit when you graduate from Cornell in two weeks. Look up and blow a kiss … as I am positive he is with you and forever a very proud Papa.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
With sincere condolences, prayers and love, Anita Vogel (Cornell)

Jim will be greatly missed. He was a good neighbor and friend and always ready to help. My boys worked for him on the farm when they were teenagers. He even inspired our oldest to raise a cow on his own in our old garage. My heart goes out to Carol and her family. They were just getting to the point where they could take some time to travel, enjoy life and their family. May God comfort you and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
