I do remember Jim in high school. Honestly one of the nicest guys I knew. He was ALWAYS kind and pleasant. I saw him a few years ago in MPLWD (1996) when he was working for a cable co. - still friendly as can be. My heart goes out to all of you close to him.

Jim was my brother-in-law and uncle to my children. We were looking forward to getting to know him better. He was a blessing to our family, especially my sister,nieces and nephews. I rarely saw him without a smille on his face. We will miss him very much and we will always love him. His family is in our hearts and prayers.

Gone West...
Jim was my only brother, and I miss him terribly, already. There is a saying amongst those who travel for a living, that when somebody dies, they have "Gone West". Ridden off into the sunset, as it were. Not even three months ago, our sister Jody chose to take that journey. One week ago today, my brother Jim was chosen, for reasons beyond my comprehension. I can only tell you there's a big hole in my life that wasn't there before.
Godspeed, Little Brother. I'll see you down the road...

Words cannot express our shock and grief at the passing of "Sharpy". Jeff and I both met him while working for Taylor Truck Line in Northfield. I will miss seeing Jim's smiling face and pleasant attitude toward everyone. My heart is breaking for your family. "Sharpy" is one of a kind! He will be greatly missed! Rest in Peace Jim! You've earned it!

I am so sorry for your family, it has been an unbelievable time for you. It has been years since I saw Jimmy, but I remember him as a child and he was a funny and fun to be around kid, I am hoping that his wife and children will forever remember their husband and father as he lived and not as he died. My heart goes out to his family and to Barb and Gary Sr as well as to his brother and sister as well. With great sympathy and loving thoughts. Patricia (Charpentier) Blesi

I only knew Jim for a short time, we had something in common, hearing aides. I looked at Jim as a nice guy, who enjoyed being with his family and doing a good job. Sorry for his familys loss.

"Afterglow", author unknown
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the way
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
Jim has left each and everyone of us with many happy memories that we will treasure forever and we will surely smile when we think of him. Although he was taken from us much too soon, we are so grateful for the time we were given to share in his life. Good bye dear brother and uncle.
Gary, Amy and Emily Charpentier

Dear Charpentier family
I was saddened by reading about Jim and Jody passing away. It has been a very long time since I last saw them but have wonderful memories of growing up together. The main thing that I remember most about Jim was that he always was looking out for his baby sister. If anyone messed with Jody they had to be prepared to deal with Jim!! Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Jim was my little brother and I miss him with all my heart. He was the kind of person who always greeted you with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He was so full of life and optimism. He was taken from us too soon. He always had words of encouragement and a playful spirit. I know he's a beautiful angel watching over us and that he's reunited with our sister Jody. May you both be at peace and safe in God's arms. Jim, you were a one of a kind person who will never be forgotten. I love you and miss you with all my heart. Sleep sweet little brother. Your loving sis, Michelle
