Dear Climer Family, On behalf of the Queen's Blue Army and our parish, we extend our love and sympathy on the death of your beloved father, father-in-law and grandfather. During the Covid Pandemic we tried to connect with our senior parishioners and Jim was well taken care of by all of you. We especially would like to acknowledge Jim's love of all children which is evident in his past leadership for our school district, Girls and Boys Scouts, and the state foster program. It takes someone...

Jim Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Your Dad was my first boss and Consumers Power Company. He was a super mentor, true gentleman, and a lifelong friend. I was personally honored to know him and work with him. He spoke often of his children and your Mom and was always proud of each of you. During your school age years, your Dad always had stories. As you grew up he shared the career paths you chose. We are sure you will miss his wisdom and love. God Bless, Charley and Mary...

Some years ago, shortly after Gerry's illness was first disclosed, Jim and I had a conversation. I said, "You know that this is going to be hard on you". Jim replied, "I do, but at least we had fifty good years together".

To the entire Climer Family, please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of such a nice man and wonderful dental patient for so many years. He was always so kind and complimentary. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. May He Rest in Peace. Sincerely, Colleen Smith (retired dental hygienist)

Carrie and family, We were sorry to hear of Jim´s death. We visited him at Vista Grande Villa and he kept us up to date with his family. Both he and his wife were treasured members of Queen´s Parish. May cherished memories bring you comfort and peace.

Our sincere condolences to Jim's family. We met Jim and Jerry when we were all members of Les Amis du Vin many years ago and always enjoyed seeing them at our monthly gatherings. We last saw Jim a few years ago while we were dining with relatives at Vista Grande Villa, and we were happy to see him again.

My sincere condolences to Mr.Climer´s family. I remember him and your mother well as a child and I remember the day I stepped off the elevator at VGV and saw him standing there. What delightful surprise. Such a kind man.

Jim - thank you for being such a caring and supportive friend. You and Jerry were a blessing to the community, touching so many lives. My sympathy and condolences to your family. You will be sorely missed.

God bless all the Climer children & their families. Jim might have traveled to heaven to be with Jeri but he will always have footprints on your heart. Growing up in the Bowen neighborhood, all the families were close. Us kids played outdoor games and the parents got together for neighborhood parties. Those were great years. Jim was a great guy, may he rest in peace.
