I am deeply saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy loved his family. Jimmy was a genuine friend. He was one of a kind. He helped so many people out of the kindness of his heart. He had a great sense of humor and loved life. Mayor of Hyde Park; yes he was ! There are not enough complementary words to describe Jimmy. May he find peace with his girls, family and friends in heaven.

Rose & family, I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Him & Jake can be together in heaven now as brothers. I can remember the day Jake came home from work and said he had found his long lost older brother. He was so excited. And that they shared a birthday, although years apart. You will be in our prayers! Cheri Burtrum, Travis, Cody, & Jake Tyler Burtrum & Families

I spent a lot of time with the Conatser Family growing up. Jimmy was always so nice to me and I remember that he tried to portray a tough exterior, when in fact he was a teddy bear at heart. My heart goes out to Rose, Jeff, Brad, and their families. Praying that God will wrap His arms around you and give you the peace and comfort you need during such a difficult time. Love and prayers to you all!

I'm so sorry to hear that Jim passed away. My mother, Virginia Bowles thought the world of him. I also worked with the Hammond boys at RM Thomas Co. Prayers for his family and may Jim Rest In Peace.
