Not sure what to say?

My first thought was this can't be our Sharky. My second thought was I hope heaven has great fishing and that Mike met Sharky the first minute he arrived and they're trading jokes and catching more than the boat can hold. You are all in my heart.

Debbie and family, We were so sorry to learn of Shark´s passing. Much love and many prayers. Steve and Sara Goodner

Debbie, My heart goes out to you and your children. May God grant you some peace & comfort.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I went to st. James grade school with Jim and dick. I´m just 1 months older than "shark bait" so sad to hear about his passing. Clyde Kramer

Oh my, I'm in shock over the Loss of Jim. SO SO sad for Deb, Craig and Julie. and all the extended family. Shark and I go way back. Our love for the outdoors meant that we could talk hunting and fishing for hours, and did many times. He's now fishing for Musky in a lake god made for him where you only catch 50+ inchers. God love him.

Debbie I can´t believe all that you are dealing with right now. May God Bless you and all the family. I only knew Shark for 2 years but I sure enjoy the time I spent talking with him. We decided hunting, fishing and the submarines my dad served on during WWII. He knew more than about my dad´s missions than my father even told me. I will never forget you and I am sure glad I got to meet you.

Debbie, my heart goes out to you and your family! I pray for comfort & peace for you, the "kids", and the grandkids! I am unable to attend services, but please know my thoughts are with you. Cathy
