North Ridgeville, Ohio
JAMES J. MIKLICH, age 73, beloved husband of Linda (nee Novick); loving father of Stephanie Caesar (Scott) and Gregory Miklich (Angela); cherished grandfather of Jacob, William, Nora, Peter and Isaac; dear brother of Thomas Miklich and the late Joseph Miklich; and uncle of many. Employed by the Federal Reserve Bank for over thirty years.
We are heartbroken to share that Jim passed away after a hard-fought 15 year battle with cancer. He was at home surrounded by his family.
Those that knew Jim knew him to be patient and kind, funny and fun-loving. He led by example and instilled in us the value of working hard and being honest.
Jim's life philosophy was quite simple; be happy with what you've got and always try to have something to look forward to, even if it's small. These two things afforded him happiness even in the most difficult of times.
Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, September 6 at St. Julie Billiart Church (5545 Opal St., North Ridgeville) at 10 A.M. where friends may call Friday 9:15 a.m. until the time of mass. Inurnment at Holy Cross Cemetery.

I worked with Jim for many years in the 90s and early 00s. He was direct, sincere, frank, and said what he meant. Wasn´t afraid to speak up. It was a privilege to have him as a colleague. May he rest in peace. Deepest sympathies to the family. On a lighter note, he loved his meat sandwiches, deeply disliked veggies (anything green, he´d say!) . Peace.

A good friend, a good man. A man that loved his family. He will be missed by all who have known him. He had the most beautiful smile and eyes. He was a "goodtime rock in roll buddy." May he rest in peace. Love to my friend Linda and family. Love Mar and Jimmy

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He was a remarkable person who touched the lives of many at the Fed, including mine. His intelligence and sense of humor made him someone you wanted to work with; someone you wanted to call your friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

I´ll remember Jim as a good friend and co-worker who taught many of us so much over the years at the Fed. He was such a gifted technician and an even better person. He and his unique sense of humor will be sorely missed. I´m guessing he´s already organized a heavenly group of Fed retirees to engage in bridge, golf, ping-pong and general conversation where he will, no doubt, have them all laughing it up. May his memory be a blessing to Linda and all his family and friends. Rest in peace, Mik.
