Norma and family, I am grieving with you at the loss of Jim. I hope you know how much I love you both. Unfortunately, I received the e-mail from the church about 6 pm this evening - after the funeral Mass and burial. I would have been with you. I'll call you soon. Norma, Our Blessed Lord is wrapping Jim in His loving arms. Love to you all. Bonnie Petro

So many great memories of Grandpa. Traveling around with the camper growing up, sledding, fishing, swimming, camp fires,baseball, and so much more. I would say he taught us all how to enjoy life without spending a lot of money. It's really the simple things in life that can bring you happiness. Most of all how important time spent with your family is and to be honest and true. We will all have grandpa with us when we crack a beer and eat nuts around a camp fire. We will miss you Grandpa. Until we meet again.
