To Jim's family and friends, I remember Jimmy from the first grade on...we were always in the same class with each other, it seemed. He was kind and a fun person to have around. I remember him so fondly, and grieve with you in this time of sadness. Peace,

So sorry to hear about Jim. He and I argued politics every day on the way to junior high. (Probably were the only two junior high students there who thought about politics). It is always a good memory. Peace in your time of loss. -- Lilias Jones Jarding, Rapid City, S.D.

Dear family and friends of Jim, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim sat in front of me in some classes in school. I always enjoyed running into him many times over the years at the Glenview Library and at Sears, when he worked there. He had a kind and gentle manner. God bless you. Autumn (Debra Blaul) Wiemer
