James William DeBoer

I was a colleague and friend of Jim's for nearly a decade at First American and am so sorry to hear this news. I knew Jim had been in ill-health for some time but this still comes as a shock. He was a wonderful man with a keen legal mind and a biting sense of humor. My condolences to his family.

I apologize for the tardiness of this expression of sympathy and would have liked to have attended his funeral service but given the fact that so many of us have been involuntarily...

Beth, Stephen, Jeffrey, I've just learned of Jim's death. Your parents were good friends to Randy and to me, and I have many fond memories of time spent with them - and you.

I will truly miss Jim, he was not only a boss to me but a second Father. We had many hours of long talks about work, religon, life, children, careers, money, pets and even death. All those things you learn from a father. My career was take further due to the wonderful teachings of Mr. D. My love goes to all of those who were touched by Jim.

My deepest sympathy to the DeBoer Family. I had the privilege of working with Jim at First American Title. He was a pleasure to work with and will be sadly missed.

I met Jim, when I moved to Col. Hghts. back in the summer of 1977.

He was the best Real Estate Attorney that I have ever known! I had the utmost respect for him. I was absolutly amazed by his knowledge, and the way that he presented himself.

He was so greatly missed, by so many Realtors, when he closed his Real Estate office.

Please know that the entire "Deboer" family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget his sweet smile, and gentle...

I had the honor of working with Jim since he came to First American and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He is in a much better place now and I'm sure he's busy helping others in the afterlife, as he always did in life.

I worked for Jim while he was at Elliott, DeBoer and Hauler and then DeBoer and Dicks and then on his own. He was an unending source of knowledge and I learned so much about the real estate world from him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you
and your family at this time of sorrow.
May all the good memories in the pass,
comfort you with love and laughter. There is no more pain or discomfort he
is at peace,he is with the lord.
