To Jim's family,
I received a call from Tommy Delmont our old Mazda manager at Polar Chev. Tom told me the sad news about Jimmy. I have only fond and fun memories of selling Mazda's with all the boys but especially Jim, the guy always had a smile and a great attitude for life. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace!

To my loving husband.......Well, I had to lay you to rest today, so now you are in heaven with the other angels. Thank you for being the "love of my life". I remember the night we met on New Year's Eve 2003. You saw he, held out your arm, and said "Stop, you are not going anywhere". I stopped, we talked, and we were hooked. We spent many times talking about how we regretted our past marriages and relationships because it lost time for "us". We got married on New Year's Eve 2005 as this was a special night for us. We had finally found a spouse who actually knew the word "love" and what it truly meant.
So sweetie, "I'll see you later"!

Jim, we shared many laughs over the years and you always wanted the best for me. I will miss your smile and our chats. You were a great leader, dedicated father and great friend. I will pray that your wife and children will cherish the time they had with you.

Me,

My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

For Jim and Tara,
my heart weeps for both of you. It was just the beginning of a new chapter in your lives. 2 1/2 years was not nearly enough time together. I pray you both find your peace. I am blessed to have known you Jim. Thank you for the ultimate gift - Beautiful and compassionate Tara Marie.

I can still hear your infectious laugh Jim. It was a joy working for you at BVW and we had a lot of fun too.
We all gave you a hard time for riding a Green Bay Packers Harley. Even though we knew it wasn't. Please be assurred of my prayers for you and your loved ones. And we will merily meet again in Heaven. Pat Theisen

Jim,
I know the day we said that special prayer of salvation in your stair well, that from that day forward you truly were in God's hands. We prayed for healing here on earth , but that is sometimes answered in heaven, but God answered our prayer. I know that God kept you here for as long as he needed. God tells us that he will never give us more than we can handle......And he knew that you could take no more. Our friendship was very close...very special...and very short. I will miss you dearly. You always had that million dollar smile. Till our paths meet again, enjoy your pain free living in heaven. Our prayer now is that God comforts all that your life touched and those loved ones that are left behind.

I am truly sadden by the thought of the loss of Jim at such a young age. I find myself at a loss for words to express how I feel and to the family for there loss. To his wife, to Genni and Tara... be strong. To all his friend and family out there... we'll miss Jim.

When Jim or I would call each other... the greeting would always begin with, "Hey BoneHead...!!" I'll miss that. Good Bye, Jim!!

Sorry I'm not able to be there to support the family through this difficult time however; my thoughts are with you.

I could not have fathomed 7 months ago that I would be saying good bye to my dearest friend in life, in his obituary, on his 55th birthday. Jim always like to joke with me that I was the "old man" between us, being 8 months older than him. He always laughed,saying I would go before him. We loved to joked with each other about who didn't make the routine check in calls between us, calling each other "one way phone boy" on our voice messages. I left a final message for Jim the day before he died, knowing I would never get a return call from him. Jim was always your greatest champion. A friends friend. Never selfish, always giving. He touched the lives of those around him in an infectious and positive way. He lived a richly rewarding life to the fullest, and will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to Jim's wife Cheryl, and his entire family on their loss. Jim would always love to say, "it just don't matter.....you're beat"! Good bye my friend, you are in a far better place, and I will see you again one day. Your friend, Michael Beer
