Not sure what to say?

I met Jim at the VFW in 2010. We became good friends. He will be missed.

Thank you for your service Sir

I worked for over 25 years with Jim. We played a lot of tennis and he was part of our lunch bunch. We did fall out of touch over the last several years. He was a great friend. I am sorry for his loss.

Condolences for friends and family Jim Im going to miss our long talks we had at The VFW, Tillmans ect. "Let it Be"

I'm Praying for Jason and his family during this time, may Jesus give you peace/comfort.

How I know Jim is that he is my grandfather. If not for him, I do not know where me and my family would be. He welcomed us into our homes with open arms. He has the most selfless heart that I can think of. I always remember the talks we used to have about all the stories that he has told me and Cynthia. Love u Grandpa!

When my husband and I found ourselves expecting and without a place to live, Grandpa Jim Dykstra welcomed us into his home with open arms. We ended up living with him for two and a half years, and during that time he became such a constant source of love and wisdom in our lives. Every morning, as I made breakfast for my son, Grandpa would sit with me at the table and share stories from his past. Those conversations were filled with laughter, history, and life lessons, and I´ll always treasure...
