I knew Jim from BHS, he was always a very caring person. In recent years I would see him & Joan at Woodman's. He always had a smile, and kind words!
Thinking of your family at this difficult time, with prayers.

To the family of Jim Scheibly ~

My husband and I both had the pleasure of working with Jim when RB&W/Reliant Fastener and Rebco merged, and we found him to be a very nice, and gentle man in a fastener world that wasn't such a nice and gentle industry to work in. He always seemed to be honest and up front, and an honor to know. Our sympathies to his loved ones left behind. Treasure the memories!

Jim was one of my three miracle men who defied the odds long after the doctors thought he could. He was always happy when we had our good talks. He loved his family and was so proud of all of you. He will be missed. God bless. Steve Elsberg
