I extend my sympathy to Linda and Family. Linda, I'm sorry we did not get together this fall. You were in many of my thoughts and will continue to be.
I will always have fond memories of Jim's playful and gentle spirit. I loved reading more details about his life and I can imagine his loss leaves a big gap for you Linda and family.
Linda and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all.
Jim and I were friends from grade school through Lincoln High. I'm thinking he may have went to Washington Elementary as I did. His very bright personality made him a special person. Very intelligent, humble, and friendly. Steve Erickson
Sincere sympathy to all family and close friends. I was one of several pals of girls from TRHS and guys from Lincoln in 1963-1964. We had great times together and Jim was always funny and extremely bright. We had a reunion 10 years ago in Des Moines with a few of our rat pack. Jim had not changed - still funny and bright! RIP
I only knew Jim through shared high school classes. Back then he had a kind, quiet persona with a cheeky, witty humor. He was one of the ‘good guys’! My heart goes out to his family!
