Read MoreJim was a warm, gregarious man who always brightened up the room.

Uncle Jim was a very funny and happy person to be with. He always told us great stories about our dad and his two brothers growing up as children. He was a great calming source to me as my father, his brother Fred, was dying. Now he is back with his mom and dad and younger brother. I will miss him.

I remember how much Don enjoyed going on Jim's hiking adventures, but most of all I especially remember what a wonderful service Jim gave at Don's funeral. My sympathies to his family.

Jim married us July 12, 1980 and we just celebrated our 30 years together. We went to church at UCC in Milwaukie back then. I am saddened to hear of his death, but also so please he is with the Lord. Praise God!

Jim taught me the meaning of a belly laugh. He was a fixture in my family. I will never forget his marrying me to my wonderful husband. He made three amazing women, all of whom are my heart friends. I loved him and cherished him, and will miss him. Thanks, Jim, for living.
