James Louis Thurman

Sorry to hear about Jim, I worked for Jim at the shop and out mining. Him and Leta we're great people, shared a lot of laugh and conversation with them, I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry to see Jim go I´ll miss him He was a great man

I will miss a great mining friend !!

Thank's Jim for all the Locals you provided jobs for during your life in Fairbanks, you only expected people to work hard, & you Trusted most Souls. We will all miss you & have a pleasant Journey to the afterlife. I for one am extremely grateful for the work you provided for me & my family. God Bless you

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I´m so sorry for the loss of father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Leta & I were friends from 6th grade on. I met Jim when I returned to Fairbanks after they were married. They have been two of my best friends for over 60 years. I was truly blest to have them in my life.

Had the privilege ( I think) of engaging Jim many a times involving contract disputes with the City. Tenacious but always a gentleman, which led to enjoyable side conversations that revealed what being Alaskan was about.....risk, investment, hard work, that certain indomitable spirit that defined being " Thermanized". May you rest in peace and continue to move mountains, Mr. Thurman.

Over 30 years ago we asked Jim for some earthmoving help for a not- for- profit project. He agreed- but he did not want any recognition while he was alive. His guys did a great job- and we sure appreciated the help. Jim was a great guy.
