Dear Jim, Rest in peace with your loved ones in heaven my good friend for 35 years. You set an excellent standard and example as a caring human and businessperson. With sympathy, great fondness, and deep respect.

Jim was one of the best bosses I ever had. Pam Worst

Uncle Jim, throughout the many tragedies you had to endure in your life you were always strong and thoughtful of others. I always valued your advice when I was checking out real estate because you were the best. You are finally free of the pain and health issues over the years and may you rest in peace.

So grateful for our friendship over 30 years. I will miss his wise counsel, twinkling blue eyes and infectious laugh. He was the best!

I really enjoyed all your stories about Kalamazoo history. And spending time with you and Aunt Bev over the last 2 years. Your now At Peace

Rest In Peace Uncle Jim with Aunt Bev, Tammy, and Ricky. You strength and humility were an inspiration. I cherish the memories of our family times together in Fulton at Grandma and Grandpa Kersten´s farm.
