  1. May I offer my sincere condolences to you on the death of Jim. May your hearts find comfort in God’s Word where he states: He (God) will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from off all faces. (Isaiah 25:8) May your loved one awaken to a world where there will be peace (John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:11) no sickness (Isaiah 33:24) and no more troubles (Revelation 21:4) throughout eternity (Psalm 37:29). May your hearts find comfort and hope in God’s Word for all that he has said will surely come to pass. (Titus 1:2) My deepest sympathy to you.

  6. So sorry for you loss Kari. Jimmy was such a fun guy and I have some very fond memories of him and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  7. Jimmy was a good friend. When I worked with him he was very good at ignoring me when I sat near him during breaks and I mocked him when he called you, Kari, on most coffee breaks and lunch breaks. I would say “Yep, it’s me Jimmy, again. Yep, I’m on break, again. Ok, I’ll talk to you again in a few hours when I get my next break!” And Jimmy would just smile and keep on talking to you while he was squeezing potato salad into his mouth out of a plastic bag or eating with a spoon that he cut out of sheet metal because there was no spoon in his lunch. You guys came to every birthday, graduation, or generic gathering that we called about. You helped Lori bring in her 40th, Nikki with her high school graduation, and last year with my 50th. Jimmy was a true friend with a shining personality and a great sense of humor. One of a kind!
