James Pratt

I had the pleasure of taking care of Jim's sweet mother, Kathryn and was always welcomed warmly by Jim. I especially remember his wonderful bread and he would make it for us often!!! It was the best!! My thoughts are with your family at this time.

I just quoted James Pratt in a testimony that I bore in testimony meeting this month. I realize that his teachings have stayed with me my entire life. I was preparing to serve a full time mission in 1975. I was the Priest Group Leader at the time, and he was my Bishop. My sympathy to the family. From Randy Brusch

I knew Jim during his Park City sojourn. I served as Bishop to Jim and Kathryn during her final years and considered him a fine mine. He was a perfect example of a devoted and caring son. Jim gave me much wise counsel. He was a blessing to my family, particularly to my daughter Emilie and her then new husband, Lars. We will miss Jim but trust that rich blessings and happy reunions are his joy now.

My sincere sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2. Again my deepest sympathy.

My deepest condolences to you Robert and the rest of your family. I know it can't be easy but rejoice in the fact that your dad is with our Lord and Savior Jesus. Who knows maybe your Dad is lifting weights with Larry Scott!

I lived not far from the Pratt's home near 9th east and 27th South in SLC. My brothers and I would often visit Jim and John to explore melting ice cubes, string theory as associated with soup cans and telecommunications, Abraham and astro-exploration and many other wonderful adventures. What a great mind and what a wonderful family. My life is changed for good because of Jim.

Uncle Jim always had a hug and a compliment for me. When I was young, I remember going over to the "other Pratt home" and having fun holiday memories. One Thanksgiving, he took us out in his cool black car to the movies and I enjoyed talking with him and everyone just being together. Thank you Uncle Jim for being such a great support and a steady hand to my father. You have a great heart. Love, your niece, Julie

I only came to know Jim in recent years, through my association with his brother, my valued friend John.

I thoroughly enjoyed my periodic chats with this highly intelligent, thoughtful, gentle and kind man over the phone and in his amazingly comfortable "$20,000 home" - a construction marvel.

The love and respectful between these two brothers has been exemplary. Watching their ever-optimistic interactions was always a delight. Theirs remains a singular...

Jim was a very special man in my life. I know I would not be a member of the church today if it were not for him. Some thirty odd years ago I worked for him at IPK Corp. He was such a man of integrity that it got my attention. I had a very deep respect for him. We had many talks about spiritual things. One evening he called my home and told me he felt impressed to have me read a section in the Book of Mormon. That request led to a very powerful conversion experience for me. Through out the...
