I transferred to St. Paul’s in 2003, and almost immediately became friends with Carol and Jim. I enjoyed our conversations, which never ended until we had a good laugh or two. I thought them wonderful examples of what a Christian family should be; their devotion to Julie was unstoppable.

Jim and I met at St. Paul's in 2001 in Bible Studies. Jim was always very cheerful and always had a kind word. His comments and insights were instructive and wise. Prayers for peace and healing for the family.

Jim Probst exhibited God's love every day. He was an exemplary husband, father and friend. His infectious happy spirit spread to all who met him. I and my family were blessed, beyond measure, to know Jim. Rest in peace, faithful servant, your work here is done.

I have fond memories of Jim from our grade school years and our life journey when our path would cross many times, he would always have that laughing smile for me. I extend to Jean and the Probst’s family my condolences, but I also rest in the Lord’s assurance that I will spent time with Jim in Heaven for eternity.

Growing up at St. Paul's my folks hung out with so many good people, Jim and Carol being part of that group. Mr. Probst was such a great man, I think I remember his laughter the most, but there are so many childhood memories surrounded by solid, good hearted people like Jim. It was a blessing growing up knowing him and his family.
