I knew Jim for a lot of years. He was always good for a story and a laugh, and always had a smile. Can't wait to hear the story about his journey from life to the here-after when we meet again!

Shannon & Julie, Dustin & Katie Q. - you were loved without a doubt and Drueck, Grandpa, Dad or Jim as he was named, always had a story, a joke, a smile that he saved just for all of you. Treasure your memories and remember to laugh. He understands your tears but most of all he will want you to remember that he is always near and forever in your heart. He was always very proud of all of you and I am proud of all of you as you handle the challenges and change with integrity, professionalism and lots of love.
Love To All Of You

Rest in peace Drueck. The girls are taken care of and we will have a toast on the 19th. I can only imagine you and Al Harris, playing golf and swapping stories. Best Wishes.

I miss you so much Dad, there is so much I haven't gotten to share wuith you and it's only been a week since you've been gone. I don't know when I am going to stop thinking, "wait untill I tell Jim" or I have got to call my Dad. I wake up and I remember that you are gone and it breaks my heart. You were not only the best Dad in the world to me you were my best friend. I would give anything just to have one mmore morning when we would drink coffee and talk about everything, those were the best times and I will always remember our talks. I miss you Dad and I know you touched alot of peoples lifes and had alot of wonderful friends. I hope people will stop by to say hi and tell Shannon and I stories about you. I love to hear stories about your life and the things people remeber about you. I miss you Dad and I will love you always. Thank you for always being there for me.
Love,
Julie
