Dear Cathy and John and Boys (actually men now!!)

Unfortunately, I've learned no matter how old you are or where you are in life, it HURTS to lose a parent. It changes you in ways you don't quite understand until it happens to you. It affects all of us differently yet profoundly.

We know your dad is in a better place, John. It's the people who loved him and are left behind who need our prayers and support.

Thinking of the Dombeck family and very sorry for your loss,

Gerry (Greenwood) Bournelis

DEAR AUDREY & FAMILY; OUR SYMPATHY ON THE LOSS OF YOUR HUSBAND. WE KNEW JIM BACK IN PORT WASHINGTON. WE PURCHASED HIS PARENTS HOME WHEN THEY MOVED BACK TO THE MILWAUKEE AREA IN 1952. DON & AUDREY SCHMIT 60 YEARS IN PORT AND NOW IN ARIZONA FOR 25 YEARS

Our condolences are with you at this time We are Ruth and Jim Lorge of Port Washington, and knew the Dombeck family quite well. Jim's dad and my dad both worked for what is now WE. I knew Rita his sister because both of us were in the same grade. All of us attended St. Mary's grade school and Port High together. Jim was a very likable person, and we always had a goodtime when we were together. The last time I saw Jim was when he was in Port to help restore power after our tornado struck Port in Sept of '64. I also worked for WE for 40 yrs., and have been retired for 26 yrs. We're sure he will be sadly missed. Jim and your family will be remembered in our prayers. May he rest in Peace.
Jim and Ruth Lorge

Dear Audrey and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I will always remember Jim's sense of dedication to St. Sylvester's and his sense of humor and willingness to go the extra mile for me and for so many. May our faith in Jesus Christ bring you consolation and hope.

Audrey, John, Mark and families: Our sincere condolences to you all in the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. You've been very good neighbors since the first day we moved into the neighborhood over 34 years ago. It was a joy watching our children grow up with the grandchildren. Jim will be sadly missed but always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. LuAnn, Ken and family.
