James W. Preston

Uncle Jim Rest In Peace. Wish I could have come out to visit you. Remember the good time when Doug and I came out for the summer, one of the best times in my life. Will miss your phone calls the last couple of years. Always considered you like my second father. Love and miss you forever. Say hi to my mom(your sister),Aunt Joan, Janice, and my dad. It will be quite a family reunion.

I will always have good memories of Jim and Joan and visiting their home for family reunions. It was always a great time. I will also remember my dad (Ken Michaels) and Jim talking in their Marlon Brando voice from "A Streetcar named Desire" every time they got together. It was always entertaining. I watched Jim's funeral service online along with my parents and thought it was a beautiful service. Jim will always be remembered as a wonderful person to have been around.

We have so many happy memories with Jim and his family. Family always was so important to him and Joan. Those wonderful years of having our reunions at their house in McHenry will continue to cause us to reflect on all those happy funny times. Not only were we cousins but friends, remembering our many trips together and double dating as teenagers. He was so loved by many, what a tribute to his life. We were happy that he found a wonderful person in Mary Jo, to share his last years...

I send you Strength and Blessings Barbara XOXO

Our sincere condolences to The Preston & O'Brien families. Jim never left in doubt the love for his family and friends. Individually and as a group, we had so many wonderful times together. He will be greatly missed.
