My condolences to all of his friends and family. I had the pleasure of deer hunting with him up in Spruce for many years. He was a very kind man with an incredible sense of humor. The memories of the time spent with him hunting will be forever treasured. He is a man that will be missed by many! RIP "Googie"

I was the field rep at Golden Guernsey Dairy when Jim and his father Earl hauled milk there. Jim was so dedicated to his business, the farmers he hauled milk for and the Golden Guernsey Dairy Coop he served. I have so many fond memories of Jim. Heaven is rejoicing to receive another wonderful servant. Rest in peace Jim Gengler. My deepest sympathy to Kathy and Jims entire family.

My deepest sympathies and prayers for Jim's family and friends. My first memories of Jim are of a nice, cute, little guy in Sr. Emerita's 1st grade class at St. Catherine's. I last saw him in 2019 at our BDHS 50th reunion. I think he was a foot taller than me then. Such a nice guy.

We always enjoyed Jim's visits when he was out mowing the lawn. He would always stop in and chat with us and we very much enjoyed his company. He was a great friend and a great neighbor. We will miss him dearly. Our deepest sympathy.
