James Mrazek

I wanted you to know how sad I was when Cheryl called to tell me of Jim's death. He was so gregarious with an infectious laugh. A renaissance man who always had the best looking lawn in the neighborhood and could cook, too. His passing is the loss of a special man.

Snickerdoodle? Jimmy, today you make me cry, but the times you've made me laugh are too numerous to ever be outweighed. Without your bright eyes, beaming smile and outgoing personality, those young ladies at the Underground in 1995 probably would not have come over to say hello, and I may never have met my wife and been blessed with my little girls who are my life. We will never forget that or you.



Our good times are too numerous to list, but some highlights include:



The night I met Donna

The night Jim met Cheryl

Golf trips to Wisconsin

Canoing in Iowa

Boundary Waters expedition with Donna and Tony

Laughing until my face hurt (lots of times)



We love you Jim.



Greg, Donna (Makena and Kyra) Layton
