Chris, Mark, Kylee, Kirstee, and Sage with Uncle Jim and Uncle Ken

Mark, Kylee, Kirstee, Sage, and I always looked forward to our trips out east to visit with all the family, especially with Uncle Jim. I personally loved listening to all his stories, especially when he'd teach me Korean! We love Uncle Jim very much and will miss him terribly. All of the family is in our thoughts and prayers. Tom, Mary Jane, and Joan Marie - you were truly blessed to have such a wonderful father. All my love -- Chris

SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD. HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE NICEST AND FUNNIEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER KNOWN. TAKE HEART KNOWING HE'S WITH YOUR MOM AND IN A BETTER PLACE.

The greatest memory I could ever think is that everytime Uncle Jim entered a room everyones face lit up. We all knew of his love of life and love of laughter. I will miss him dearly, but just knowing him has made my life more enjoyable. I love ya Uncle Jim

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
