James Nordale

Dear Mary, Meg, Molly, Jim and Dan, I just returned from being gone several weeks and received this very sad news. I have the fondest memories of both Jim and Sheila. Sheila was one of my best friends. On my last visit to their home in Colby, Jim was our chef, cook and bottle washer. We did nothing but visit and eat Jim's wonderful meals. It was always such a pleasure to visit them. I will miss them both so very much but always treasure the memories I have of them.

I will miss Jim as I do Sheila. They were the best joke/story tellers at the dinner parties. I also loved how they interacted with each other. Kindness is what I'll remember most about them.

Nordale Family- you have suffered a huge loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to you. We will keep you all in our prayers. Love the Linney Family

I was a classmate of Jim's in the famed "Class of 59" of the Gonzaga Law School. Jim was one of the brightest stars in that shining galaxy. I was most happy to see him, and my other classmates, at our 50th law school reunion. Jim was a nice guy. There's no denying that. Phil Raekes, Benton County Superior Court Judge (Retd)

Alaska loses another one of the quality individuals who made the State what it is today. Where oh where would poor Alaska be if there had not been men like Jim Nordale and others like him.
They were there when Alaska needed them most and Jim Nordale was among the best.

Dear Members of the Nordale Family,
We Sisters of the Holy Names send you our sympathy and prayerful support as your father enters his eternal life. May Jim and Sheila share with you all their deep eternal love and joy from within God's loving Presence.

I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to your family during such a sad time. I have such wonderful memories of Jim and Sheila. They were a shining example of kindness and grace. Jim was a generous spirit who was loving, charming, funny and dedicated to his family. My deepest sympathy to you.

Mary,
Jim was both a friend and a professional colleague. He made many significant contributions to the State of Alaska.
Our condolences.
Leroy & Suzanne Barker
