Not sure what to say?

Peace be with you and your family. It's taken a long time to post this but best friends are always best friends. I'll miss your stays with me in Michigan...Badge.

I was shocked to learn of Jake's passing. We didn't know each other for very long. The last time we spoke he told me he was expecting his first grandchild. He was so excited!! And he often spoke of his boys and how proud he was of them. I'm am so sorry for your loss.

I think of Jim often and was so glad I attended his memorial. The conversations I shared with his sister, Nancy and Sally will always be held in my heart. It takes a long time to heal from a sudden loss, I know. My thoughts of you and Jim continue. Take care, Nancy Antor Krupp

Jim has always been special to me. I just talked to him on December 31 and found out about his cancer, we had such a nice conversation catching up on our lives both joyful and sadness. I want to share this with you, it was my devotion on January 28.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:19.

In sadness, Nancy Antor Krupp

What a great guy, and a great sense of humor.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I always enjoyed talking with you at our class reunions. Will miss your smile and happy go lucky nature.

Always had fun with Jim. Enjoyed playing ball with him. He was fun to be around.have not seen him since high school but remember him well. Sad that he is gone but glad to know he is with the Lord

I'm missing you so much.......Nan

A Microbiologist? No kidding? He was a goof ball with a heart of gold.
