I was in high school with Jim also. Jim, Ann, my husband and I became very good friends when we moved to Britt. Our friendship continued through the years after they moved to New Hampton. We spent those years laughing and having a wonderful time. Jim kept us in stitches every time we were together. He was one of a kind and I will miss Jim and his friendship tremendously.

Our heartfelt sympathy to Ann and the Bennett8. It was a pleasure to work at the pharmacy in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many memories still exist. Sorry we are in Arizona and won't be able to attend on Monday. Jerry and Cheryl Donlon

I was also in the class of 1963 in Clear Lake with Jim. When Paula Kitchen and I visited our home town we often visited with Jim and Ann. They were two wonderful people and their family was their pride and joy.
His was a life well lived. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
