Jim was always a thoughtful man, I remember when our kids were small and I was working a lot of weekends Jim would come over and take our son Ryan fishing or whatever fun things were going on with Kevin.Of course he will be missed by all that knew him. God Bless your family!

Dear Janet, Jennifer, and Kevin,
We are so sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. I really wish so much time had not passed and we would have spent more time together. I will always remember all the great times we spent together at ServiceMaster, the camping and fishing trips we shared together at Yellowstone Lake, and of course the Bears games. I will miss him and will always cherish these memories and keep them close in my heart. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
Love, Jim- Cappy Boy
