Not sure what to say?

Wow 7 years have passed, how different life might be if you were still here. Miss you brother.

Our final hunt.

Jimmy and I met over 50 years ago and he will always be a brother to me. Jimmy was a great friend with a great wife and great family. After spending countless hours fishing, scouting, hunting, golfing, traveling, decking and enjoying life with him all I can say is, Thank You Jimmy for everything! You will never be forgotten.

I had the pleasure of working with Potts, Mike and Pearl at The Foursome. I also got to know Don and David, during those years...great family. Was fortunately able to see Jim fairly often at Barber Bob's in recent years. He always made me smile. RIP, Pottsy!

My thoughts are with your family what a gift to have so many wonderful hunting memories thanks to Jimmy!

My thoughts are with you Sandy and all of Jim's family. I am so glad that I had the chance to visit with you both during your bike travels through Red Lodge, Montana....I believe the mountains offered him a kind of peace that the mountains seem to bring to people.

The first year of my marriage we lived next door to the Cornelius family in Wayzata and became good friends. My memories of everyone are special. "Jimmy" was fun and always had a wonderful smile. Sincere condolences to Sandy, Marilyn, Mike and David.

My friend of 40 years, my heart is more than broken. Many tears , but tons of good memories. Honored to be a pallbearer on Tuesday . Thinking of you every day.

So Sorry to hear about Jims Psssing, what a great guy he was. I've know him since Jr High school and he was always so happy and easy going and concerned about others. My prayer's are with you and your family Sandy.

I was taken by surprise when I learned of Jims cancer. I was happy for him to get another chance at hunting with a new cross bow and taking a road trip over the summer on his new bike. Thats willpower!!
I worked with Jim for four years @ Pro-Tec and on the rare occassions he was in the shop, he always had something nice to say, even calling me "Pammy" . . . and he always shared "game" (catch?) with his co-workers when he had got something from hunting. He was a helluva nice guy! He...
