To all the wonderful family! Bill and I have so enjoyed the years here at Scottish Rite Park and Connie’s and Jim’s presence added to that greatly. What a delight to visit with them about the old Valbracht days at St. John’s. My folks deeply loved your family. And so....it is with their vicarious love and prayers that Bill and I send you our sympathy and love. Sue and Bill Flemr

Jim was my neighbor growing up. Always kind to all of us neighbor kids. He and my folks were neighbors again at Scottish Rite Retirement home, so I got to say hello occasionally when I visited. I remember he danced with mom at my wedding- pretty good dancer! My best to all the family.

Beautiful story of life. Jim always brought out a smile in you before he spoke. Much missed. Much remembered. John Peverill

Jamie and Jane, we still think fondly of our time in Frontenac and our friendship. Every now and then we visit friends in the Red Wing area and drive through the old neighborhood. Please accept our sympathy in the loss of your father. Praying for you at this time.
