Jim was the kind of guy that everyone loved. I will miss his smiles and hugs!! I remember when I moved in with him and Marcia I brought my cat Jinx; he teased me that he was going to turn her into a blanket. That cat didnt like people,but she would go to him.

Another memory I have of him was when I was going to school and working full time, I wouldn't get home till after 10:30 Mon - Thurs. He would tease me and the girls (Jamie and Kristen) about our clothes and makeup. I came home one night and he was wearing these flannel pants and a bright orange shirt, so I thought I would turn the tables on him and I teased him and asked him if he was going to go out and direct planes thru the fog. Needless to say he never wore that outfit again!!!!

He also asked me if I poisened him when I cooked for him....

He was the BEST husband,father,grandfather and friend anyone could ask for. Now he is our angel in our wind......

Uncle Jim will be missed! i will never forget what a BIG gentle giant he was! As a kid, I remember his smile, his hugs... and of course my nick name... HUNK-A-JUNK!! The last time I saw him, he still called me by my beloved nick name! Anytime I hear someone call something a hunk of junk... I will have to laugh and remember my Uncle Jim!

I send my LOVE and prayer to Marcia, Sandy, Doug and family. Big Jim will always be a special man in my heart. He was the most loyal loving man, always a BIG smile, BIG heart and a BIG hug. Jim stepped in to do me the honor of giving me away at my wedding. He was a friend, and a father figure in my life. Until we meet again, Love Jan

We send our love and condolences to Marcia and her family. We were so sorry to have missed seeing him one last time on our recent vacation to California. We enjoyed being neighbors with the Beisners very much during our 12 years we lived on that street. You will be in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time in your lives.
