James D. Hess

We
remember how Jim always supported Youth Sports ( namely Rams football
with Doug and Ross ) . He was an avid sailor and we enjoyed his
adventure tales on the big Lakes. Our sincere sypathy to the family.

We grieve with you at the loss of Jim. He, of course, was our favorite uncle! We have such fun memories of playing "spoons" with him and Doug and Kami on the floor in Grand Rapids and in Spider Lake! ("Bigga Momma Come Alonga...!"). Jim made use smile whenever we saw him - as a matter of fact, he could make anyone smile, couldn't he?! We will miss him. Somewhere up there he is sailing along in a peaceful sea. God bless you all and we pray for healing, comfort, and love to you.

May you rest in God's hands - we will see you one day. We love you.

What a terrific big brother and also a friend! We remember all the good times we had together. You always enjoyed life and may you sail forever.

Joelene, Doug and Kami, My deepest sympathy to you in this time of your great loss.

Jim was one of the funniest and most fun person I have known. Always kind and gentle and with the most infectious laugh around.

I can still see him throwing his head back with laughter so hard it would make others laugh with him. What a gift.

I will always remember him and I will keep him and all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
