Dear Janell and Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Jim was a terrific cousin and always had a welcoming way. We love you so.
Sheila Nelson Zolman

I loved Jim. I remember being a youngster,when Jim and Janell stayed at my family's house @ 3325 15th Ave So; they cared for my sisters and me while Lee and Linda took a long vacation. Jim was the sweetest, gentlest, and kindest man; he and Janell implanted themselves in my heart, and I have continued to love and adore them all these years. My love and heartfelt condolences to ALL of Jim's family--I love you all, my wonderful cousins!!

Dearest Cousin Janelle (and family)
I want to extend my deepest sympathy at the loss of your beloved Jim. Family blood lines run very deep and I want you all to know how much I love you, even though I can't remember the last time we saw each other. I hope to see you again some day very soon. Be comforted with the thought of that grand reunion in heaven! Love forever, your first cousin, Pam Nelson Smith (Seattle)

Jim's Family and Friends: Please accept our condolences at this time of your loss. Only God knows the number of our days as He holds us in His Almighty hands. May you know the Presence of the Holy Spirit as you walk thru the days ahead. Know that we are remembering you in prayer.

I can see Jim (Sleepy) O'Rourke at heavens gates meeting St Peter there. He kind of looks down then with that sheepish grin of his he will say can I come in. Next thing he hears is a familar voice sure you can. He looks up only to exclaim in joy "Coach" " "Coach Bushley" is that you and then he sees Father RB, Mike Estanson,Ron Janicula, Lyle Berg, Dennis Kimmet, and others from there from the Central Class of '59 all there just to greet him. And down here on earth there are many others...

John and Sandy, I was saddened to read of your brother's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Janell and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you always! I loved him so much and he really helped me a lot when I worked for you guys! I still can remember his voice, I. Can see his smiles and I can especially remember his Teddy Bear hugs! He was definately a hard working man! He taught me so much that I'm not afraid to do so much electrical work or fixing things in general. He always gave me so many pointers! I love you guys so much and I'm always here for you guys, even the Banks...

Janell,and Family, So sorry for you loss. Jim was a great mentor to me in the "trade" years ago.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
