First of all I just want to say how sorry I am to everyone who knew Jim, for the loss of such a wonderful soul.

My husband Gene and I were also very fortunate to have Jim in our lives.

We met Jim and Rei when we were transferred to Mckinleyville with the Coast Guard. Rei helped us find our first house together, right around the corner from them. (lucky us). From that day forward we spent holidays, actual birthdays (Beau) and we even got to take Rachel out on her first movie date. I have never to this day seen a prouder father and husband then Jim was. As we all know with Jim family came first, and friends were not too far behind. We always knew if we needed anything that Jim would be the first one there to help, with his big beautiful smile and positive attitude. Even as we moved on in our lives our friendship did not, the bond always remained and will until we see him again~

Dear Scherer Family,

I want to send my deepest symphany from the bottom of my heart. I work at Burger King in McKinleyville and Jim was one of my favorite customers to see every morning! I've served him his morning coffee for almost 7 years. But for the last 8 monthes I was on maternity leave and he was one of my regulars I missed the most! I couldn't wait to show him my son. But 3 days before returning to work, a co-worker informed me of his passing. Even though I wasn't phyically there for the funeral, please know how much my heart and prayers are with your family. That's one smile I'll miss forever!!

Stacey....We just returned home yesterday, and although we weren't able to attend Jim's service, you and your family were in my thoughts and prayers. Seeing the love you and Jim shared for each other was something to behold. You will have those memories to cherish forever. Please know if you ever need a shoulder to lean on, I am always here for you. Please take care of yourself. Much love.

No words can express the grief I felt when I learned of the tragedy and loss of my son-in-law Jim and the unwanted pain this loss has produced for my daughter Stacy, family, and friends who knew and loved him. I only wish I could have been present in the time of need for family and friends but unfortunate circumstances placed me out of reach and I learned too late.



Jim accepted me from the beginning and I knew from the depth of my heart he and I would become great friends. He was a kind and mannered man and fulfillment of Stacy and Jim’s dreams were obvious when you looked at the glow in their eyes. Their love for each other was made in heaven and I shall always miss him dearly.



My heart goes out to his son Beau who now must go on without his father and to my daughter Stacy without a husband. Somehow I wish I could turn the clock back and none of this existed. My prayers are with all the hearts Jim touched each and every day of his life. I am thankful for the time God gave us to be together, even if it was for a short while, and for the pleasure to be his father-in-law. Jim, as long as you are in my heart, you will never be far away.

Walt Scherer and Family

April 27, 2006

As we see our siblings go off into the world to find themselves, we hope and pray that they do well by the family name, they find joy and happiness with their lives and that they surround themselves with family and good friends who will love them. Jim did all of these things... and he did them well.

Jim brought many warm and loving people into his life. One of the greatest gifts that he gave to us, before he left, was to bring Stacy and her two boys into our family.

And, finally, I have to remember that we only feel sadness and sorrow because we were able to feel so much joy and happiness. Someday the sadness and sorrow will fade away. Then, I will be able to tell people, once again, what a wonderful guy my brother was without feeling this pain of his leaving. Thank you God, for the time you let us share with him. He will be proud to guard your gates of heaven. Please give him some time off when we get there.

Please honor Jim's memory by reaching out and loving one another.

(You can email me or call me anytime you have trouble doing this. That's what brothers are for.)

Jim,

I wasn't able to attend your services due to staffing requirements at work (the hazards of a government job, right?), but, I wanted to tell you that you were never a "fair weather" friend and that I will always be there for your family. My shoulders may not be as broad as yours, but they are there for them. You were there when I needed a friend to listen and you never made me feel as though I was intruding on your time. Your smile was infectious, how could anyone not smile back? Thank you for being a friend.

Semper Fi,

Stacy,

We are so sorry that we were not able to be there for Jim's service,I know it must have been a beautiful tribute to Jim. As I read the entries in this guest book, it is so touching to hear what a wonderful man he was. We are sorry that we didn't get to meet him. Your mom has told me how happy he made you. You are truly blessed to have found such a true love and Jim was blessed the day you came into his life. You deserved so many more years together. Our thoughts and love are with you and your family.

Stacy, Although I have not met Jim personally, I feel like I have because I have seen so many pictures and Sarah has shared so much about him with me. No doubt Jim was a man with great integrity and character. He will always be a part of you. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you.

I am very sorry for your loss Stacy. I wasn't fortunate enough to meet James although I heard so many wonderful things about him from Sarah and how he made you complete. Be thankful you got to spend the time with him that you did and that you really got to know true-love first hand. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, God Bless.

I knew Jim from Coast Guard Housing in Ferndale, he helped me more times than I can count and always went above and beyond with a smile on his face. He always made sure there was a new paper posted up for me to read while walking my kids home from school. When he saw my children he would always stop and take a minute to play with them, he loved all children so very much. When he knew I couldn't chase my puppy anymore he took her in for me, named her Jenny and would bring her back to housing with him and make sure the kids got to see and play with her. Many times he spoke of his family especially the children, he had great love in him and shared it constantly with everyone he came across. The light in this world just dimmed a bit more with the loss of Jim. He will be greatly missed!

Sarah Harkins

April 24, 2006

I met Jim the day before him and Stacy got married, but I felt as if I knew him forever. I had talked to him a number of times on the phone and was blown away by the kindness, gentleness, and unconditional love for Stacy. The love they shared was a fairytale to many, so perfect. What an incredible and an amazing man who no doubt will be loved forever. We will miss you “Stacy’s answering boy” Love Sister Sarah

We met Jim on his and Stacy's wedding day and he told us that when he saw Stacy at Safeway it was love at first sight.

It was delightful to see a mature couple so in love.

Jim was very welcoming to Brandon and Cody and proudly told us about his son and daughter.

In such a short time, so many people were touched by his goodness.

Let all of us pass it on.

For my Brother-in-law;

No, For my Brother,

Though you were in my life for such a short time, you made a huge impact. Some things I have known for the ten months you were married to Stacy and some I have only just learned about.



Stacy’s two sisters, my wife, Danette and Bobby’s wife, Robin have not been shy about letting Bobby and I know that they were a bit jealous of Stacy. Needling us about how thoughtful and caring Jim was. How he would surprise her with flowers, or how they were constantly making “PDAs” with each other. He would write love letters, and poems. He would do all the little gestures that we stopped doing as often, years ago. Your love and caring for Stacy has been a reminder of how important our relationships are and I thank you. I have lost a role model and a new friend.



My son, Michael, has not spent as much time with you as your other nieces and nephews but, as I learned the other day, you have made an equally strong impact on his life. When I called him on Wednesday to let him know about the accident he started crying and told me how sad he was. Through the tears he told me that you were his favorite uncle and that you were going to be the Best Man at his wedding (He’s seven years old). When the day does come he and I will save a place for you.

Jim, We miss you and pray for you. Trust that Stacy and your children are in good hands.

Jo Miller

April 23, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jim, you are much remembered in your old home in Topanga. I receive many calls daily from people remembering the best friend, plumber, and all around good guy we ever had. All ask me to bring their love and condolences to all of your family, new and old, and especially to your children, Rachel and Beau, who they remember well.The people who cry for you now, from Connie Wright, Dick Sherman, Lisa & Chris, Melissa, Shari,Alex Wright, Barbara and Cathy Campbell, Chryssa, Dorothy Reik and many many more, mourn your loss as such a young man. They remember you, remember your truck with "All American Plumbing", they remember how smiley you were.I'm coming up to say my final goodbyes, and I'm bringing memories from hundreds of people here with me. With Love from your long time friend, and my family.

Dearest Stacy, Beau & Rachel,

I cannot even say how hard the news has been to hear that we have lost Jim but I know we will see him again. I would love to talk to you, Stacy, when you are feeling up to it. I have not met you yet but maybe this is Jim's way of having us meet. I met Jim through my dear friends Kathy and Jim who is a CHP officer. Jim used to do their plumbling and then he helped me with mine. Our friendship grew after that point. I will truely miss him, his smile and laughter will live in my memory. He talked highly of his children Beau and Rachel and that made him an A-1 person in my book! Once we listened to Dean Martin and Frank Sanatra and laughed, I believe Beau liked them from what Jim told me. Please call me sometime, i'd love to meet you, I will be at the memorial and my prayers go out to all of you and all Jim's family. Gods speed MaryAnn Wik 826-9455

I knew Jim was the ONE for my sister Stacy from the first time they met in Safeway. She found her true love. What a wonderfun man. He blessed our whole family. His big happy smiles and warm hugs with his big strong arms were the best. He was a wonderful uncle to my daughter Lauryn. I told her Uncle Jim is in Heaven looking after her from up above. She sleeps with the Coast Guard metals he gave her. I told her that she can talk to uncle Jim whenever she wants in her prayers. Jim you will forever be in our hearts and prayers. Thankyou for giving so much to so many.

Jim and I were in the same unit in the Marines at 29 Palms in 1987-88.

He was the first friend I made there, as he tended to make the "new guy" feel welcome, and the only fellow Marine that I remained in contact with after almost 20 years. Living 3000 miles apart, we visited each other 3 times and they were the best times of my life. Anybody that met him out here instantly fell in love with him, he had that quality. We are truly heartbroken to lose such a great friend. When I was contacted, my initial thought was I wanted God to take me and not him, he is like a brother to me. Rachel, Beau, Stacy, and Rei I will be there for you if I have to walk, that's a promise. As for you Jimbo- I love you buddy. Rest in Peace. Love Hambone

Bob & Robyn LaVerne

April 22, 2006

Jim: From the day Stacy met you at Safeway, I knew you were the ONE. She was crazy about you and you about her. Your love for each other was above all other loves I have ever seen. You were a gift to our entire family. Your big bright smile and warm hugs with your big strong arms were so wonderful. Your niece Lauryn misses you terribly. Every night before she goes to sleep she prays to God to take care of you and Grandma Shirley. She sleeps with the Coast Guard metals you gave her. I told her you will watch over her from Heaven and whenever she wants to talk to you she can do do so in her prayers. Jim - words cannot express our saddness and pain. You were a bright ray of sunshine in our family. I know Stacy will love you forever. We miss you terribly. Thank you for giving so much to so many.

Forever in our hearts and prayers.

April 22, 2006

I met Jim when he first came to Humboldt in 1989 through my dear friend, Rei Shore. And when they married soon after, Jim became a permanent “fixture” in our group of friends! Jim danced with me at my wedding to Todd, and Rei was my matron of honor. Some of our fondest memories of Jim were the times spent with him, Rei, Rachel and Beau at their first house in McKinleyville on Winchester Ave. Many a holiday or other celebration was spent there, and Jim was always a fun and generous host. Todd and I also appreciated Jim’s skill as a plumber. Jim did many large and small plumbing jobs for us, and because he was such a great guy, he would have done it all for free, if we hadn’t insisted on paying him! Jim loved being a father to Rachel and Beau, and I’ll always remember how he looked holding each one in his giant arms when they were only tiny infants. It’s hard to fit 17 years of friendship into a paragraph. Todd and I will miss Jim immensely; he filled a big space in this world. Peace be with you.

Sam and I are so sorry to learn of Jim's tragic accident. As former owners of The Eatery, Jim came to our rescue on more than a few occasions. Any one who owns a restaurant knows how important plumbing is and Jim was our guardian angel of backed-up systems. His bright smiling face and ever present cowboy hat always made us feel like the calvary had arrived. Jim was truly appreciated in the time he was with us, and his memory will live on with those he came in contact with.

Stacy and Family,

Words cannot express how saddened and sorry I am by your tragic loss. Jim had such a beautiful heart and infectious smile that will be missed so dearly. He was an angel on earth and I believe that God must have needed another angel up there. My heart breaks for all of you. I pray that wonderful memories of your special time together will help you through this extremely difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

With Love,

I only knew Jim briefly but he was a joyful spirit. I had no doubt of that. Knowing what it is to lose someone so dear, I want to say to those that grieve for Jim that I pray for you. Keep your memories close to your heart in spite of and because of the magnitude of the pain. As far as I knew him, he was a gift.

Jim's smile and sense of humor will be missed. It was always a pleasure to chat with him and such a joy to see the sparkle in his eyes when he would talk about Rachel and Beau. After listening to Jim talk about how he had "stalked" Stacy at Safeway and then seeing how happy that they both made each other, it was obvious to all who saw them that they found what everyone looks for.

Stacy, if you ever need anything, please, feel free to give me a call or stop by the P.O.

My partner in life, my partner in love. We were two loving friends and two friendly lovers making our way along this pathway called life- hand in hand, heart to heart. Our love was extraordinary because we completed each other. I was so lucky enough to have found the one person who was meant to be my lifetime love! My one and only, my soul mate.

Maybe some things aren't meant to be questioned, only cherished.

Like I cherish you.

We all will miss you so much. You were such a wonderful uncle to our children, as well as a wonderful brother-n -law. So caring, loving and generous. You are truly loved by all. The boys are missing you so much and wondering when they can play with uncle Jim again. This is so hard for my sister and you both deserved so much more time with one another. Her love for you runs so deep. Everybody that was ever around both of you felt that, it wqas very touching. You are loved so deeply by your whole family, we are going to miss you, your smile and your deep belly laugh. Until we see you again, all our love. You will always be in our prayers. WE LOVE YOU JIM.xoxo
