Not sure what to say?

I too miss the walks through the property as a family and making random phone calls in desperation for cooking advice! I will always hold these and many more memories close to my heart.

Some of the best memories we have as Jpa's grandkids are our walks with JPa and Jack around the property discovering and investigating nature!
We love you JPa and will always look at pictures and remember.

If I could walk right up to Heaven, I would bring you home again. Proud memories from the day you were born and all your many kind deeds and accomplishments help me, as you always did. I miss you so much. Mom

Jim was dedicated to serving his community. In addition to his job as a trustee for Sharon Township, he formerly served as deputy auditor for the Medina County Auditor's Office. Jim also served on the Medina County Planning Commission for 10 years.

As a tribute to Jim's love of nature, he will be remembered by a memorial garden in Sharon Center designed by his wife,Kathy, and his sister,Susan.

Jim was a 20 year veteran of the Sharon Township Board of Trustees. This photo shows Jim taking his oath of office in November 2007.

Rob and I are always reminded of Jim's thoughtfullness and caring ways, but especially about his great cooking.
He LOVED to cook. We'll never forget one particular family Christmas we spent together in Sharon Center, when Jim made Polish kielbasa from scratch. What a treat! The best we have ever tasted!

Hold tight to memories for comfort, Kath, and always remember how much we love you.

I am a vendor and met Jim over a year ago. He always had a kind smile, a helpful hand, and went out of his way to help others. I saw him one time after his hospital stay, and sad to say it was my last. He is in peace now, and I'm sure smiling down on all of us today! What a great man! What a great memory I'll always have of him.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
