Matt, so sorry to hear about your loss. Your dad was a great man and I can still hear him calling me "Shoes" at our basketball games for the frat. Remember all the good times, I know that is what he would want. Sincerely, Ken Gearhart

I will always remember Jim for his laugh and great passion for life. His play by play at our basketball games were hilarious. He and Louise always made me feel welcome when we made trips to Galesburg for a getaway from college life. I pray that his love for his family and the memories you have of him help ease this pain. God bless.

I always looked forward to visiting with Jim whenever our families got together and hearing his serious and funny stories. That twinkle in his eyes kept me anxious to hear what he had to say and it was always worth wating for. I'll miss him.

I remember Jim when he started teaching, then getting to know the family when our children went to school together. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
