I haven't seen or talked to Jim in many years, however, the news of his passing evokes many memories of our time together as friends. He once gave me a bible with an inscription, "a friend is a friend for all times."
His wife Joan was so dear... I am grateful they are together again...

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. The Hindelang Family was special to me. I have wonderful memories of Jim from our teen years and from our Posen - Rogers City connection because of his marriage to Joan. Jim was a very educated man, you might say, self-educated, he continued to read and learn throughout his life. Jim contributed to helping many people throughout his career as a respiratory therapist.
May the special memories the Hindelang family made together help you through this difficult time.
Love and prayers,
Your down-the-block Three Mile Drive friend,
Jerry
