I met Jim through ham radio and I knew he was ill, however I just learned he had passed away.

I will never forget Jim's enthusiasm for life & especially ham radio.

I want to thank God for Jimmy my wonderful brother and all the past memories we treasured!
It was a blessing and I am very thankful! No more sorrow or pain Jimmy rose with God on eagle wings.
Some of my fondest memories with Jim are when we fished together at our cabin in WI and when took walks to the mailbox. It was fun listening to him tell stories about what he did at boyscout camp
When were little it was fun playing with Legos and Star wars toys. Jimmy
, I'll remember the joy, the laughter, and the smiles we had and the love our family shared with you!
You were an inspiration to me!
God bless you!
Ame.Love forever ......love your sister, Jennifer.

No more pain or worries, just sitting at the right hand in glory. I watched over you as a baby boy and now it's your turn to watch over me. We were neighbors for so long and now you sit in your heavenly home. Rest in perfect health. To God be the glory forever!

My dear son dad & I miss you so much

You were so... smart..funny..& a joy to have as a son...so inquisitive about everything .A hard worker..with everything you did..never happy unless you figured it out...You were also one of the bravest men we have ever known..you tried so ....hard to stay with your family...who loved you so.
God felt you have been thru enough hardships.& brought you to home to Him..In the same wee hours of the morning .that God sent dad back to us 7.3.14
Dad is upset that he won't be at your services. He knows ...now ..you..know how sick he is & that you understand .....he is also grateful mom brought us all together & you were able to hug and say your "love you"s to each other..

You are forever in our hearts.
