James Hackenberg

I think of Ace often, some of my best laughs, biggest cries and most memorable times, were with him. He had a great sense of humor, and back in the day, was always up for a good practical joke.......I keep you all in my prayers.

My goodness times goes so quickly!! I cannot remember a time that I or our friends were in the presence of Ace and we weren't laughing, sometimes at ourselves. What a loss, but what a guy!! You are missed and so loved. Thanks for welcoming me when I arrived in Michigan, it meant and still means a lot.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ace's passing. We had many, many good belly laughs, he was like a brother to me at times. For a few years we would meet and get our ashes on Ash Wednesday, he was a good guy and will be missed for all his positivity and welcoming way. God Bless you Ace, Love and Peace, Darlene "Moe" and Rodney Conklin

I was saddened/shocked to hear of Jim passing. I knew he wasn't in the best of health, but didn't expect this...My memories of Jim, & there were many, goes back years to St Mary's in Paw Paw. We had many good times up right until the end. He brought a lot of "fun stuff" to the table & had a big heart.
ACE, aka TONT & Hack the Knife will be missed, but he fought the good fight.
Maybe now he can finally find TONT's keys!!
I pray that God welcomes him into his Kingdom & reunite with...

Sorry to see that Ace has passed. He put up a terrific fight. Am in Quebec, Canada and unable to attend Ace's memorial mass Saturday but my thoughts and prayers are with Ace and the family.

So sorry for your loss, I went to St Mary many years ago and we came from Decatur on the bus and pick up the Lawton kids, I also work with him at Sundstrand in Dowagiac again many years ago. He also had a big Smile.

Ace was one of my favorite cousins. I enjoyed my time with him.
