Jim was a very dear friend of me and my family for years. Living next door to him for over 25 years we shared alot of stories. I got to meet the whole family that was very dear and close to me also. He was a special person tried to be a hard nose but if you knew him he was a big teddy bear. You will be truely missed Jim.

We had some good times visiting with Jim in his home. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. We appreciated his calls to see how things were with us. We will miss seeing him when we come to visit our son this Fall. Floyd & Louise Martell

Jim,
Our family had "been knowing" Jim for many years. He was a good friend and neighbor, always willing to lend a hand.
I enjoyed all the time we spent hunting, fishing & woodcutting, I learned a lot from Jim. He loved to build things and always had a project in the works. He loved to tell stories about his military and law enforcement career, we spent a lot of afternoons listening to Jim's adventures. You will be greatly missed Jim.
