I was lucky to work with Jim on several projects and enjoyed every minute of it.
I feel privileged to have know such an extraordinary man, He was tough but he was also very kind and fair and I will miss him.
God bless you my friend, rest in peace.

As we go through life, we meet people that change who we are and how we live our lives. Jim Scheil was one of those people who had that impact on me. Whatever he did was done to perfection and nothing less was acceptable. His smile and laugh were infectious and his wit and wisdom was at the highest level. As a business associate for more than 30 years, our friendship became strong and will be forever cherished and remembered. Hopefully, Saint Peter has his "A" game when Jim comes to the gate. He is going to need it. May your family find peace and comfort through God's grace and love.

Jim was such a great person, a personal friend, I will miss him tremendously. He was generous to a fault and kept me out of trouble on many occasions with his kindness. My prayers are with his family and his staff at Summit. I know Wes will be a strong advocate of the principles that Jim had over the years and will always be remembered for. Terry

Caddying for Jim was indeed an enjoyable round of caddying at FWCC. He impacted many young lives and will be missed. His generosity of time, talent and treasure to the larger community was also a beautiful example for all. The Freiburger caddies will keep Jim's family and friends in their prayers.

I worked for Jim and Scott from 1989 to 2009 and had a great living for myself and my family. I learned a great deal from Jim during that period and that has carried me and my four children through all their college years and my subsequent jobs since. I believe he was the only person I've worked for in my 35 year career that worked harder than his men. His fast knowledge of the mechanical trades will be around for many years with the people he shared it with.

We are saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was so kind and generous to us during our Relocation Project in 2006 and 2007, having contributed many much-needed items to get us back up and running again. His generosity will be long remembered and appreciated, and we send our condolences to all who knew and loved him. R.I.P.

Such a kind loving man who shared many lunches with me. I will never forget our countless hours of reminiscing about our families, work, friends and of course golf. If I could say one thing about Jim it would be that he lived life. For him it was always work, work, work, but I also know how much he loved his family and his and Debs ability to help others with there good blessings. Rest in peace my friend I will never forget you.

Debbra and family,
Jim was special in my construction journey. We served together on the ACBD Board of Directors for more than 20 years. Summit Mechanical was a team member on some of our design and build projects as well. He was his father's son for sure!!
He will always be remembered.
May Peace be with your as you celebrate his life. His spirit will be there as you go.
Sincere Sympathy,
