I went to school with Jim he was a great and caring soul , may god comfort you in your loss

I worked with Jim a few times at GM on 36th St. He was a great guy to work with and I was very shocked to hear of his illness and passing. I will lift your family up with prayers for comfort.

I worked with Jim for a couple years as service electrician on Jim's production line at GM. Jim had such a dry and suttle sense of humor which provided many laughs and good times. He was a genuine nice guy who never spoke ill of anyone. I'm blessed to have known him.

Thinking of you Celeste, may God hold you close. Jim was a wonderful father, I was privileged to have known your family for many years and I have fond memories of all your big smiles and positive attitudes. Much sympathy.

Sincere sympathy to the Linder family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We have special memories of James when he was in our son'n'law, Josh and daughter Lora's wedding.

Celeste, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time, as Jim was a wonderful person. May the Lord be with you and Christopher in your time of grief.

So sorry for your loss , I will light a candle in his memory . Caroline Halpenny Ireland

So deeply saddened to for your loss, Celeste..Know that you and Chris are in my thoughts and prayers..

What a loss! My sincerest sympathy to Jim's family. I was lucky to have worked with Jim once in awhile at 36th Street on E-line and GG-1. He was such a kind and friendly person, a hard worker, quick to laugh and slow to criticize, and a true family man. So sad now, but so glad to have known him.

We are so sorry for your loss and pray for God's peace and comfort for your family.

My deepest condolences to the family of Jim Linder. I met Jim at GM after transferring from Kalamazoo to G.R. He was honestly one of the first to welcome me personally to the new work place and for many days days we worked together making the best of our time working. When i had to work with Jim it was a good day! I am deeply saddened by his passing, rest in peace Jim!

We in the town of Dorr where James grew up are shocked & saddened to hear of his passing for we had just lost 48yrs young Donna Walters who also spent yrs of her life in the summer in Mackinaw City loving life!!! I only knew James because my dad owned Dick's Market. His mother Ronny was the best! Celeste, I went to grade school with. I hope Christopher will be OK w/o his dad. Prayers for James & all who love him. May he Rest In Peace......

Celeste and Christopher--Our thoughts and prayers are with you both at this time. Surround yourself with all the good memories, then Jim will be forever in your hearts.

Jim was a great friend. He was kind easy going and easy to be around. Some of the most exciting times of my life were spent with him. Either being left in his dust on a mountain biking trail or hiking down a trail together at 12,000 feet. His passion for adventure was contagious.
Celeste and Christopher my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.
R.I.P. Sherpa Jimmy!! I'll miss you

Jim was one of a kind. A very unique and caring person. We were in the same tool and die apprentice group. Our love for nature brought us together on a few trips. A winter backpack trip to sleeping bear dunes, a winter kayak trip down the Muskegon and a canoe trip down the little Muskegon. He is great canoeist! We always wanted to watch a November storm hit the Pictured Rocks lake shore. Now I know where I will be going for a November storm. Jim was a ton of fun to be with and to listen to his adventures. I met Christopher after one of our classes. Jim came walking in with Chris on his back like a backpack. It was hilarious. Chris was his life. I would see Chris again usually whenever I would see Jim. Chris is a hoot. One story for Celeste. We had a coed softball tourney for our work picnic. We would ask Jim to play knowing we would get Celeste to play with us. She is a good player! Jim was a good athlete to. He would smash a golf ball along way. Jim was a good friend. I will miss him daily. I am heartbroken for his family. I pray for your peace.

Praying for the family.

To Celeste and Christopher, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Jim was a great co-worker, and a great friend. I enjoyed are bike rides to Mackinaw. Jim I'm sure will be greatly missed by all who knew him, know that you are all in are thoughts and prayers.

Jim, I am so shocked and saddened to have just read the news. I miss you already. I am so glad to have considered you as my friend. You are one of the best people that I ever had a chance to work with and to know. I am so sad now, but I am also glad to have thought of you as my buddy, as my friend, and as a brother. God bless you and your family. You are still the best.

Prayer to the family

R I P Jim praying for your family

I enjoyed knowing Jim at the plant. He was one of the good ones. My condolences
to the family.

Thinking, and praying for your family in these mourning times! I will always remember the fun, and hard work we did on P Line.

I worked with Jim for a number of years and a better worker you could not ask for. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Offering my deepest sympathy. May every sunrise hold more promise, every moonrise hold more peace. May God's word strengthen your family to endure times like this.. Jeremiah. 29:11, 12. God says "For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,' thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."

I worked with Jim at GM and one summer he used to whittle things out of wood he made me a small canoe that went with my indian ceramic dolls collection still have it and will cherish it always, I so appreciate knowing him RIP Jim will see in the after.

I transferred from the Kalamazoo, General Motors plant to the Grand Rapids plant in 1995 . It was my great fortune that I was assigned to work on E line, where I met Jim. He made me feel welcome, and a great friendship was born. He made my next 11 years at the plant enjoyable. I considered him one of my best friends. Jim always talked about his son, Christopher and his wife, Celeste, they meant the world to him. Jim and I would spend many hours discussing the Lions and Tigers. He once carved a totem pole for his son .... This piqued my interest in carving, which I still enjoy .... I will miss my good friend .. R.i.p. JIMBO ........ Love ya buddy , BIG KEN

Celeste, Christopher, and family,
It is heart breaking to hear about Jim. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Jim in Grand Rapids I always enjoyed listing to him talk about his adventures like hiking to frozen water falls in the U.P. or climbing a mountain out west he definitely sparked my interest in hiking. I will keep the family in my prayers
