Jim and I had some good times in constantine just hanging out. Nice guy, Never an issue between us, and later worked together at Fibre Converters. Had Jim tan some deer hides as well. I was in class of 72 constantine.
Sending prayers and hugs Char, I know how much you loved Jimmy. You two had a great love for each other. He always was the sweet cool guy with the great big smile who loved his wife dearly. He looked forward to when you walked into the door after work. He definitely loves you dearly! My favorite couples are the ones who talked dearly about each other. You two always do that with smiles. Jim will be missed and we will cherish our memories.
Char, my thoughts and prayers are with you 💕🙏

Char, Jim was a hoot to work with when we worked for Morton Buildings. He was always smiling and joking. Any time we met after that he was always beating me to say hello and reminisce. I am better off for knowing him. Take care. Mike and PAM Heivilin
So sorry Char. My husband passed away 3 years ago and was also creamated. Never ben sorry that is what we planned. We had a gathering at a later date. It is easier to do it that way. We have been friends for years and always will be thinking of you my friend. HUGS!
So sorry for your loss Char Mark and I will be I. Prayer for you and you family.
Char,
I’m so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He will always be my favorite neighbor, no matter what side of the fence we lived on. He was always the cool dude with the sports car and sunglasses, thus lovingly given the name “Mr. Shades.”
Char, Chuck and I are deeply sorry for your loss! Hugs from both of us!
Char, I’m so sorry for your loss. I will miss giving Jim hugs to give to you when I’d see him.
Char,
Len and I are so sorry for your loss. We had known Jim since 1974.Having Jim for a neighbor was wonderful. Even when he tried taxidermy. He will be missed, waving as we or he went in and out of our homes. Prayers and strength for you.
Charlene, Jim was a nice classmate in Constantine. I know he loved you. I’m very sorry for your loss. God Bless you. 🙏.
