James Frank "Jim" Lord

Oh Jimmy, I didn't know❤. I've been remembering you and Mickey often.... Mikey, I'd love to hear from you. I live in Martha's Vineyard now. [email protected] ❤

Been thinking of you and Mickey all these later. I've always held you and our friendship in my heart. I'm living in Martha's Vineyard and would love a call from my dear old friends there. 508 693 1978 God Bless

I met Jim when I was very young and wide eyed at political events, I found Jim was easy to talk to, fun to be around and a gentleman. It wasn't a long relationship but memorable for all the right reasons.

Cousins we were but in the early days Jim was somewhat younger, full of vim and vinegar and always teasing the older cousins to the brink of almost physical retaliation which thankfully never occurred. Then, it seemed all at once Jim grew into this amazing young man capturing the State Treasurer position with even futher potential to become a top politician in Minnesota and far beyond....had that been what he wanted in life. But, the practice of law seemed to hold a higher priority for...

Judge Lord and Family: Having been out of town for a couple of weeks, I have just learned of Jim's passing. Like so many others, I was shocked and saddened. As others have said, this is a loss to the community and to the legal profession as well as to Jim's family and loved ones. It was a pleasure (so many years ago now) to have Jim as a law student here at William Mitchell. You all have my deepest sympathy.

I simply remember from my teen years that Jim was a very nice guy and good brother to Ginger. I also recall being so impressed when he moved up in Minnesota politics in the 70's to a point where he was a notable riding in the Excelsior "Roaring 20's" parade. Fun stuff. I send heartfelt sympathies from my family (Maggie, Sue, Steve) to all of you.

To the Lord family and Jim's many friends:
The funeral was a great tribute to Jim's memory. You all did such a good job sharing at such a difficult time.
Jim helped my late husband, Greg DeVaan in so many ways. I miss them both now.
He also was a great friend to my family and we have many happy memories of him participating in gatherings over the years.
I will miss seeing him tooling around town and running into him at the Navarre gas station. I will never forget his laugh, and...

My warmest sympathy to all of the Lord Family. I am very thankful for memories and how sometimes they bring us back to simpler times, when as kids we felt life had no obstacles.

I grew up with Jim “Jimmy” on Christmas Lake. What a great time. The summers, the winters, all of the seasons all of us kids got to enjoy at the lake, Near Mountain, Silver Lake…it was a special time to grow up and have friends like Jimmy.
