Heidi and Michelle our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad. Our prayers and thoughts are with you both. We know that over the past couple of years his poor health has really taken a toll on both of you, but remember that he has gone to a far better place and we will all meet Jim again.

Recalling past memories with you Heidi, your family, Barb and Dick the night of the 17th was, we hope, in some way as great a comfort to you as it was to us. Just know that your Dad is at peace and in God's hands.

Heidi, Michelle, and family, I'm very sorry for your loss. Though I haven't been in contact with you much, I remember our school days and how you described your father as a wonderful father. Know that he is with God, looking down upon you, and waiting to greet you when your time comes.

Fond memories of Jim attending our monthly Professional Photographers of Greater Omaha meetings in the 80-90's.

And Jim sharing with me some of his experiences at KETV, where I had the opportunity to "see him in action" at the audio console one time. I think he told me one time he actually climbed the tower to change a beacon light bulb at the station?

And the many classes he and Joni attended in Omaha and other locations on photography and the art of photography busniess throughout the years. I really think the master was "Joni" in the business, yet Jim was a master of organizing, coordinating and getting things done.

I haven't seen Jim in a few years, yet I'm sure he has a camera with him and some film to "capture a moment" for the rest to enjoy. This is what he did best in life.

To Joanie, Michelle and Heidi and the entire Prusha family. I am deeply sadden to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find peace in the days ahead.
