James A. DiBernardino, Jr.

Dear, Julie and Laura. I am so sorry to see your dad has passed. I still remember when you all lived up here at the end of the road with great fondness. Love all of you and still feel sad that your mom was gone so soon. I am glad your dad was there to enjoy the grand daughters for all these years. I send hugs and love to you and your families. May God bless you all.

Jim and I go back a long way here in Ely. I enjoyed his company at summer cookouts and a couple beers to boot. He always had a quick wit, with dry humor to make anyone laugh. Last summer, he was able to spend an entire summer up in Ely. I'm glad he did. To his family and friends, you have my sympathy and prayers. RIP JIM!

Jim often came in to our business, Voyageur North Outfitters. He came in for bait sometimes but many times for a nice hot shower he knew he could purchase for a low cost. We had some fun talks and he liked to share pictures of the fish they caught. I had a picture he shared with us, of his huge smallmouth bass, on our counter under the plexiglass. Many people admired his catch!

Condolences to family and friends on Jim's passing
