For Dede and James and Kathy and Grand Childs of Jim, I want to wish you my heartfull and deepest sympathy, still with tears in my eyes when I write this in German Mein herzliches Beileid !!!!. Knewing Jim now 26 years cause about 3M, I lose a friend/buddy in the US. During my business trips I've spend a lot of time in the Horn's house and I felt all the time a heart full welcome. Jim's birthday is the same as mine (Sep 14th , that might weld us together), I was on vacation with my family at Jim's house on 9/11, he visited me and my family twice in Germany and he was planning it to do it a further time I will miss the frequent talks on the telephone and I will miss him for my life thanks Jim Ralf

To the Jim Horn Family,

Jim was a wonderful friend during my working years at 3M. I haven't seen Jim in many years, but have thought of him fondly. Jim helped me in my beginning years as an engineer. He was always willing to share his knowledge to help those who needed help. You have my deepest sympathy.

I was deeply sorry to hear of the loss of an old friend from 3M. He was a very good friend and helped me tremendously in my first year's as an Engineer there. I haven't seen Jim in years, but have remembered him fondly from time to time. You all have my deepest sympathy. He was a wonderful person and I share your loss!

Dede and Family,
This is a hard one, but have comfort in that the Lord has a purpose for everything. My mom dearly loved Jim. They had a lot of talks and fun times on their way to 3M. If she were here now she would be so sad for you and your family. Jim touched my mom's life and she touched his. They talked about God and how he worked in lives of all the coworkers they came in contact with. Praying for you now as I have always been before.
Sincere Sympathy, Sue Frost Salevsky
