Not sure what to say?

Jim and Judy were our neighbors for 25 years. Unfortunately we we out of town when Jim passed. We were very sad to hear the news when we returned home. After they moved I occasionally would run into Jim at the dog run. We always visited and caught up on on how everyone was doing. Jim was a good person and I´m very sorry for his family. We pray for healing to all the Holochek family.

My sympathy to Judy and Jim's family. I enjoyed bantoring with Jim while I worked in the front office. Jim was an anti-computer guy, and used to tell me the pencil was all he or anybody else needed. (I believe he finally gave in and got a computer though!) Rest in peace, Jim. I enjoyed knowing you! Agnes Cox

I attended Farwell High School with Jim and sister Judy. We made it to the State of Nebraska finals in basketball Class E in the early l950's. He also attended some of my early birthday parties. I always admired his neat "duck tail haircut" and basketball moves on the court. RIP Jim.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of sorrow.

I very much enjoyed his company, first as a student and then as his student teacher. I have very fond memories of his intellect and wit, especially the banter we would have between, and sometimes, during classes. RIP......

Jim and Judy were our next door neighbors for over 25 years. They were great neighbors and good people. I reconnected with Jim recently over the last year when I would see him at the Dog run. Sorry for your loss Judy. Jim will be missed.

My condolences to Jim's family on the loss of a good man and a great teacher and coach. He was the calmest wrestling coach I ever saw. I first met him when he was coaching at Albion and I was at David City. Then later in life when I took a teaching job at Lincoln East, Jim was coaching there with the same calm attitude. He was a man I admired. I was glad to see him subbing after his retirement, which is the sign of a dedicated teacher.

Judy, I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

My thoughts to family & friends on your loss. One of my FAV teachers @ East High class on 73, my FAV Coach also. He always cracked me up such respect for Coach...
