I grew up just a mile away from Jim and Florence's farm, and they sold their milk to our cheese factory (Zipperer's Cheese Factory). I drove milk truck and was always delighted to have Jim stop by the milk house and visit with me as I pumped the milk into our bulk truck. He was always so happy, and so friendly -- especially to me, a young high schooler and then college student. Florence and the whole family were wonderful to us and I was so appreciative of them. I am so sorry for your loss .... Jim was a special person and will be dearly missed by the entire community.

May you, Florence and family, find peace in knowing Jim is with his Savior. Knowing Jim and the size of his heart and smile, you just know he is resting in peace.
Florence, I can't help but remember being with you and Jim for one of your first milkings or the nights the girls babysat for us.
We pray for all of your wonderful family.

We send our deepest sympathy to the entire family. Jim had a big heart, helped us out when we first moved to a Brillion and lived down the road from the farm. And our children attending school and classmates. May all the great memories fill your heart now and in the future. May the Lord be with you all, and give you strength. God's Blessings
