I Worked with Jim for many years at McDonnell Douglas (Boeing); am so sorry to have been out of town for his service.

Jim was a friend from Coyle High School. I enjoyed visiting with him at our class reunions. He was always willing to help plan the reunions and help to find and keep track of our classmates. We will miss him.

I've known Jim since grade school at St. Peter's and then in high school at Coyle. Really have enjoyed getting reacquainted at our Coyle reunions and luncheons. Will certainly miss him.

We will miss Jim. He was such a joy with whom to talk and a great gardener. Our sympathies to his family whom he loved. Pam Atteberry and Candy Omlid

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jim and I worked together for many years at the airplane factory. He was a very intelligent man with many friends. He will be missed. I'm sorry I will not be able to attend the funeral.
