Jim, you were the one person who could bring a positive array of sunshine to someone’s life and genuinely mean it! Your heart was infinitely available to the people you loved and the people who loved you back. There were so many more memories to make and we are very sad of that. We will always reminisce about your trips to Michigan. Those times were the best for us. And the way you talked about your kids and grandkids was apparent of what a good father you were. We will certainly help carry out your legacy. We will miss you and have a hole in our hearts forever! WE love you,Uncle Jim!!

Brad was a great guy I remember all the fun we had when we were kids growing up in the “Big” town of Omer, MI. we hadn’t seen much of each other after we grew up, I remember seeing him at his step-moms funeral and telling him how much he look liked his father. The last time he was in Michigan he was suppose to come to dinner with Barb but something came up and he didn’t make it. I sure wish he had and we could have re-connected. We send our deepest sympathy to his children and family, he was a great man and I know he will be greatly missed by all.
