Jim was a man of few words, but of many talents. Flying, fishing, law, and computers to name just a few of his skills. He learned by trying new things and liked to teach and help others learn and grow. Jim and I attend some of the local computer shows and talked about software and hardware. He will be missed.

Jim was such an authentic man--true to his beliefs, kind to his fellowman, loving of his wife and family and such a joy to know. I wish we could have talked more but always treasured the times he would stop in after a visit to his doctor and tell me the latest news. He understood fellow cancer patients and was willing to give his time and energy to them. He was so easy to be with, to respect and to love. The world was a better place because of him. Blessings to each of his beloved family....may his spirit live on in each of you.

Jim was our company attorney for the past 35 years (Suburbia Furniture & Carpet Co. Osseo, MN). I cannot remember how I first met Jim and asked him to incorporate our business as a MN corporation. During the past 3 1/2 decades, he was allways very fair on any transaction he was involved with in our business. Jim was a strong family man and a good christian. I will miss Jim.
