Not sure what to say?

How special to read Jim's obituary again. We loved interacting with him at the library. He was so friendly and a great neighbor to the library staff.

Many times I would meet Jim at the front entrance of the library. He was one of my favorite patrons to talk with, not for long each time. He was after his next great read and I would be running errands for Janelle. We all miss his smile and friendly demeanor.

I miss the best brother ever!

Our deepest condolences to Julie. When we were neighbors I would often find Jim outside working around the house. I enjoyed listening to him as he would share of his rich life experiences and learning from his vast knowledge. Jim was good to our children, always taking time to talk with them and paying them to help with outside chores. The last conversation that Jim and I had he told me that he had lived a good. I believe this is true and he will be missed.

We were glad to have Jim and Julie as special neighbors to Eckhart Public Library. He always greeted the employees with a smile. He was an active person, riding his bike around the community. We miss him. My sincere sympathy to you, Julie.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. I hope 1Thessilonians 4:14 can offer hope and healing for your loss.

Jim was a good guy, with a keen eye on the world at large. He added wit and wisdom to the tumult of the sixties. My sympathies to his loved ones.

I was very saddened to hear about Knipper´s passing. I had the good fortune to know him in my earlier days. I loved his fascination with nature and his keen interest in the world around him. My sincere condolences to his wife and wonderful family-

What a lose to friends and family. Jim was a wonderful man and great friend to all. We send our love to Julie and participate in celebrating him and his lasting impact on others.
