Pops,
You are truly going to be missed by all who knew you. Your heart was kind and you were a beautiful person. I loved coming over and visiting just so you could tell your stories. Dennis and I loved you so much. You will always be in our hearts. I loved our talks between the two of us.

MANY, many years ago, at the corner of Lincoln Highway and Annie Glidden Road, we lived next door to your family - We were surrounded by fields and a gas station and that was pretty much "it". ... Just loads of happy, running, laughing children - and all our parents "hollering" at us. I remember both Jim and Garnetta vividly and send my sympathies to all of you at this difficult time.

Grandpa Jim,
You will be missed by so many that you made smile. Your sense of humor and sarcastic comments always made me laugh. You will finally get to be with Garnetta again and your three sons that preceded you. It was an honor being your office nurse for those years and also a part of your family. May you be at peace now.

We'll miss you Grandpa. We're glad you can once again be with Grandma, happy and at peace.
Love Adam Rauman
