Many memories playing with Jim at the Bolle home field; Berlin as coach. Pony and Colt leagues. He was a great competitor on Lincoln's wrestling mat also. Part of his living life at 100%.
So lucky to have him as part of my life.

He was too young to be gone. I don't remember him well but remember his family from when I lived in Branch. Happened to run into his uncle, Lovell Bolle, after we moved to Texas when at a 5K run we had both entered. After hearing his name mispronounced at the awards, I approached him and we had a good conversation. Small world.

Mr. Jim,
Instead of pitching for Branch baseball, you are now pitching for the Home team. I will always remember you for the fun-loving guy you always were, especially on our "adventuresome" bus rides home from our away track meets. God bless you on your next journey... Pete Madsen Family

Cindie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My brother, John, was good friends with Jim, in the 70's, before Jim moved to CA. There were always stories to tell, after their time together. It is so hard to lose a brother. I will be thinking of you, in the days ahead. May your memories bring you comfort and peace.
