Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. It has been a very long time since I last saw Jim but our families were very good friends as we grew up together in Long Prairie. My sympathy and prayers go out to Jim's family including Bill and his wife, Gwen.

Sharon, Lee and Ben,

Your husband and father was an important part of my early life in Long Prairie. Looking at his picture I am thankful and sad. Thankful for the things he did for me and the things he did for others. I remember the great spirit and ambition he had. How he was able to push forward and make things happen.

Sad that we never connected after I saw one of his companies trucks on the freeway in North Dakota in March of this year. It would have been a way to catch up...

The world has lost a good man. My heart goes out to you Sharon and your family.
All I understand at this point in life, is that GOD has taken him into his arms.. and you will always have him in your heart. Thinking of you, a special prayer going to heaven and hugs to a wonderful family.

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Love and prayers to you and your family, Sharon.

Sharon, Lee and Ben,
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
May he rest in the Peace of Christ.

Love and prayers to your whole family...
