James Michael Vangel

Hi Dad. I just wanted you to know I think of you every day! We all do! Mom is well but I can tell she misses you terribly. I know you're with the Lord and no longer in any pain. I love you and miss you. Give Dede a kiss from me!

Jimmy and I grew up in the same Columbia City neighborhood in Seattle and graduated together from Franklin High School. My brother, Carl, was a friend of Jordan. Will miss seeing Jimmy at our 60th class reunion next year. Barbara Weller Dahl

Jim was the quite calm person who you listened to when he spoke. We enjoyed being around Jim, Carol and the rest of the gang when they came over to Leavenworth. Jim will be missed by those who knew him.

Sorry to hear of your passing, Jim. You taught me how to swim on Alki Beach in that cold damn water, haha! When I get to where you are, we'll golf, drink beer, and talk about the "old days".
