Not sure what to say?

I first met Jim in the Spring of 1963. I was in seventh grade, Jim in ninth and beginning a long-lasting relationship with my sister Rea. I have known Jim for over sixty years. Jim and I were not only related through his marriage to my sister but through many things we had in common. I miss him. I miss him every day. I wish I could still talk with him. I will never forget him. He was as close to being my brother as anyone I have known. Rest in peace my friend. I wish you hadn't left so soon....

Great friend, sense of humor, conversationalist, NASCAR, movies old and new, Tommy Emmanuel, truth; relative and/or absolute, email with edgy cartoons (sometimes Lindsey originated), politics and books - I do miss our monthly 3-hour sit-downs at Sir Hobo's, Gus's, and finally Culver's.

Jim was such a wonderful friend and co-worker. He will always be fondly remembered for his kindness and support when I was new at SPHS. Such a special human.

He was a wonderful teacher. Wonderful man.

Mr. Dahm, my heart is so heavy that you are no longer with us. However, heaven gained a fantabulous angel! You'll be missed, but never forgotten! Hugs & love to your family.

I have known Jim for over 60 years. His input in my life decisions was something that I always sought, and he willingly gave to me. He will be sorely missed. He was a great brother-in -law to me. Irreplaceable!!

Mr. Dahm was my favorite teacher more than 30 years ago. He really understood kids on a different level and he helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life at a time when I was very clueless. He also is the person who introduced me to my favorite book. All in the course of being a regular teacher. I´m sure he influenced so many kids in the same way. I am a better person for having known Mr. Dahm. I hope that his legacy is a comfort in your time of grief. He meant so much to the...

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Thinking of you & keeping you in our prayers. Always looked forward to seeing him & chatting. Truly a kind man. Our condolences to your family.

I´ll always think of him when I hear Zuzu´s Pedals while watching It´s A Wonderful Life. I know he got his wings, but we have lost a real light.
