There were so wonderful times back in the day at the Presbyterian church with Jim Wickstrom as the pastor. His knowledge of the Bible, especailly the Greek and Hebrew text, was impressive. I loved seeing him on his walks in the neighborhood. He will be missed. Lots of love to all the kids.

I grew up attending First Presbyterian Church and remember when Rev. Wickstrom arrived in 1969 to fill the position as lead pastor. At the end of his sermons, he would recite Jude 1:24-25 as his benediction to the congregation: "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen"

I'm one of those members of the community that Jim encountered on our morning walks.That's how I met him many years ago. He would stop to chat and frequently prayed with me about daily concerns and praises. I knew him as a special man who loved God and loved people. I'm sure the Lord was delighted to see him when he got Home. I miss him.

I will always thank God for the Bible teaching Jim explained in his sermons. The preaching from the Bible, verse by verse, was so deep and he explained so well how it met me in my daily life. He will always be in my heart. God did have a calling on his life. Thank you Jim for all the years. Terrie O´Farrell Wilson
