James E. "Jim" Krattenmaker

I had my as it turned out ,very last time with my uncle "Jim",this being at the hospital."Jim" was a very down to earth and direct person,he would always state clearly what was on his mind. A rare quality in a person.He was a very dedicated husband to his wife and my aunt "Neva', and father to his children ,Bill,Jean,and Jennifer,my cousins. He so loved humor and the many great jokes he heard as well as relay them too. Before he passed this last fathers day,,june 21st, I talked with him...

Neva,

Jim is at peace but we are so sorry you lost him! We send our deepest sympathy to you & family.
