The pandemic has prevented my traveling to Sheboygan to see friends and family. Jim was a great host and we enjoyed meals at the Family Restaurant. I am grateful for Jim's friendship and hospitality and his stories about growing up in Sheboygan and union work.

David and Scott, Your dad was very special to our family. I was the flower girl for your parents' wedding, and my brother Jim was named after your dad. He was always close to my mom Charlotte and was particularly kind to her in the last few months before she passed. I am sorry to learn of his passing and although I didn't see him often, I will miss him. He was a good guy, and you can be proud to have had jom as your dad. Your cousin, Linda
