Claudia and family, I was so sorry to read about Jim's passing. I don't know any of you, but my husband, Chuck, and Jim used to fish together in Olcott. Chuck talked about him often. Jim probably even had a custom rod that Chuck made for him. He also passed away, almost four years ago.

Jim/Bret and Reitmeier Family,
So sorry of your loss, thoughts and prayers of our family are with you. So many fond memories in the woods and on the water. Deer camp and Olcott. Sounds of the 175 screaming down the back road and left hand on mirror of the truck as he turned 100 miles on the road for the day. I'll miss those times, but laugh out load as I remember your dad.
