It´s been 9 years since you passed away, a piece of me left with you the day you passed away. I love you so much, and I miss you more than any words can express. I´m back working in assisted living, and you come up in a lot of stories I share with my residents. Until we meet again, I love you and Miss you! Love, Ashley!

It has been almost 3 weeks and it still not easy. But thank you each and every one for the kind words for our Dad he was truly one of a kind.

My condolences to the Klitzka family. I went to grade school with Betsy and Mary and your dad worked at Martin's with my brother-in-law, Paul. I saw your dad at the funeral home when my brother-in-law died a couple of years ago and he was as I always remembered him. He was such a hard worker and took care of his family and always had a smile on his face. I know your family will miss him so much. May he rest in peace!

I will never cross a trout stream without remembering you!
When I have guests over, I will ask God to give me the strength of Uncle Jim and his wife to really make my company feel at home. Thanks for being my Uncle and my dad's best friend!

Green Bay Wisconsin without our Uncle Jim this is just too hard to think about. so much love to your large wonderful family. In my mind I see so many people welcoming you HOME and there in front is a young blonde boy with a fishing pole in his hand and his Mom at his side. RIP my Uncle Jim

Jim, you've left a hole in my life. Just knowing you were still around was a comfort to me. Why is that? You weren't famous, you never got rich; yet, you were extremely successful in ways that really count.
You had a generous spirit; you were just as apt to tell a joke on yourself as on anyone else; you had a childlike penchant for fun, yet you had a sense of duty, that enabled you to give up your own personal preferences for the sake of your large family. I never knew you to be vengeful or spiteful .
No, you never were a "Big" man, but, in the universal "BIG: you had that Best and Rarest commodity. I know it would have embarrassed you a little to be told it. I can even see that sheepish look with a little hint of a grin you'd get when you were embarrassed.
Jim, you had a Truly Loving Heart. You will be missed more than you could know.
To the family, you are Always in my prayers.

James(Jim) Klitzka, a rare man, Jim was pleasant to be around wheather you were just a kid or an adult. Jim could make you laugh at yourself, himself or just the world in general. Jim would help you if he could.
Jim Klitzka started out as my best friends Dad. Then Jim became one of my friends. It was my honor to know Jim.
To all my Friends from across the street! May the love of Jesus surround you all.

All the Klitzka Children,
My heart goes out to you. I remember fondly all the great times I had going fishing with your father and all the neighborhood shenanigans he usually put up with until we crossed "the line". He will live forever in our hearts. God bless and comfort you all.

To my Klitzka family, I have a heavy heart today just as I did when we lost Dorothy. Jim was the father to me that I needed when I lost my own father. Jim taught me many things but most important was the unconditional love he showed for family friends. I am a better man today because of Jim. May my Klitzka family find comfort in knowing that both Jim and Dorothy's work here is done, it carry's forward in us.
Your brother, always!

To my brothers and sisters from another mother and father...my heart grieves with y'all at the passing of Jim. A man who taught us how to fish, to laugh, and to dodge things quickly (lol) and the value of enjoying life as we lived it from day-to-day. The memories live on within our hearts and between us as brothers and sisters. While miles may separate us, my heart is tied with cords of love to the truest friends one set of kids could ever have for another. It has always been my honor to have known Jim and Dorothy Klitzka. May your hearts find comfort and piece in the love of family and friends.
Love always,
