My name is Larry Fett; I knew Jim from Sahara. I echo the other thoughts and memories of Jim: a kind, good, gentle man, the sort of guy Wordsworth no doubt had in mind when he wrote "that best part of a good man's life: his little, unremebered, nameless acts of kindness and of love." I will miss him as will many others. I don't take a paper and didn't hear of his passing till yesterday. My condolences to his family.

Uncle Jim was a very favorite uncle of mine and he was a very special person to me. I miss him already and he is loved by many people. Bless his heart and I hope he is happy with grandpa and his brother John.
I love you.

I just learned of Jimmy's passing today. Even though I had not seen Jimmy for over 17 years, who could forget him. Especially those blue eyes! Black Irish at its best!
I remember when Jimmy decided to walk another path. He figured out what was important and dedicated himself to those endeavours. I know his relationship with his son was a big motivator for his wanting to change his life.
Thank you Jimmy for being a part of my life and if Julie and Cindy are out there, Hi There!

The first time I met Jimmy he was at Jerry's house barbequeing, with a smile on his face. Jimmy was always good for a hug and an ear for listening. He will be missed. But like others have stated, it is good to know in our hearts that Jimmy is with our heavenly father, probably barbequing for them.

To Jim's family,
If Brad were alive today he would be so sad. We were able to see Jim quite often when we lived back in Mpls in the 90's and it was so great. The girls and I had just been looking at old team photos on Fri night and I pointed Jim out and they remembered him. We know that Brad and Jim will be reunited across that thin veil that separates us all from this life and the
next.

Fondly, Kathy Richards, Alyse, Sydney and Faith
