To Jim and Vivian's family. We were neighbors of Jim's and liked him a lot and we just heard about Jim's death. We commiserated over the fire that happened several years ago to his shed and garage and our shed and house. We moved away but our son still lives next door. We will all miss Jim. He was just a great person. Joe and Jeanne Smith and Family

Jim was a great guy and probably the best neighbor one could ever ask for. He never hesitated to help when someone needed it, always had a wave and a smile for us, and if we were lucky, a story. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Vivian, Jim, Steve, Mike, John, Colleen and Carolyn. We have great memories of your dad. One that comes to mind was when your dad made this homemade Pontoon and we all went fishing on Indian Lake in Fergus Falls. We will cherish all the great memories of your dad. Our thought and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Randy Johnson and Family.
