Dear Cindy and family
I was deeply sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I had been out of town for two weeks and just recently returned. My dad has always said Jimmy Pschirer is one of the best men he had ever met. You are in my prayers and of course in my thoughts especially during this most difficult time.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Jim and Janet Pschirer during Jim's recovery from heart surgery. It was so nice to hear the stories Jim would tell about Janet when she was a model. He had me watch her video while she modeled. He was just so proud of her. Then he would tell me stories about the safety program he put together for school students with the "Big Yellow Bus". We watched that video too! He was just so proud to be able to help school students. Jim would share stories with me about when he was in the service, working at AT&T. It was so sweet to watch his face and how much he enjoyed those times in his life.
Personally, Jim and Janet Pschirer were an absolutley loving couple which they passed on to the children. My deepest sympathies to the Pschirer family. I will miss seeing Jim's smiling face. xoxi

Jimmy may be the only one in the family who remembers when your family lived on Parkview Lane in Allison Park. He someimes played in the Spindt's back yard.
The last time I saw your father he was teaching a class in driver safety for seniors. My husband and I were in the class, and it was the very best one we ever took.

Carol & Dave, Jim & Carolyn, Cindy & Wayne, and Jeff & Cathy~ The loss of a parent is so hard. Though I didn't know your Dad/Father-in-Law personally, I knew so many nice things about him through you guys and through mutual friends. I hope your wonderful memories of him will help you over the coming months. A prayer goes out to all of you and your extended families as I write this. May the Lord watch over you.
Blessings, Patrice Kreber Clouner
