My heart aches for this wonderful family. I did business with Jim for years when I lived in Ham Lake. I always knew that he would take good care of my concerns with my septic system. I knew that he was fair and honorable. Ryan has the same upright, honorable way to do business. My heart broke when I heard the Jim was suffering from PSP. My sincere sympathies for all of the family and friends who enjoyed knowing Jim Lashinski.

My condolences to Jim’s entire family, my prayers are with you. Jim became a part of my life during his young adult years while working at my parent’s service station in Little Falls. I hold many fond memories from that time and always enjoyed seeing him occasionally throughout the years since. There was always a humorous story to recall during those conversations, leading to much laughter. Rest In Peace Jim.
