James Kistler Obituary

Dear Kistler and extended family: The loss of Jim is hard to fathom. He was like a father to me. While growing up in the late 1970s, the Kistler family took me under their wing and helped guide me through some turbulent years. For this, I will be eternally grateful. Until I see you in glory Jim, I will remember you with love.

It was my honor to know and work with Jim for almost two decades at National City. He was a true model of professionalism. More importantly, he was a kind, gentle and thoroughly decent man who was universally admired and respected. He was a wonderful man and I consider myself very fortunate to have know him. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim Kistler's passing. I first met him in the 1960's. He was a man of great integrity and kindness. I am sure that anyone that met Jim became his friend. I will miss him and my prayers are with Valera and family. Rest in peace my friend.

I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Mr. Kistler ( Dad ) like I call him since 1977 when He welcomed me to his house together with his wife Valera ( Mom) and Shelly , Jim and Becky . As an exchange student . I would never forget all the talks that we had around their fire place and all the many times that he laughed of my weird jokes . I want to celebrate your life Dad, I don't want to be sad , but I cannot help it . You and Mom raised a beautiful family and I am proud and happy to be part of it . Love you with all my heart . Nando
