I knew Jim from Palisades, many, many years ago. He was a fine co-worker to all of us. Every time I have run in to him since, he called me by name, and always took a second or two to catch up! Bless you Jim. Diane and kids, you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, and may you find peace and comfort in knowing there are so many folks thinking of you..Karyn R.

To Jim's family: I met Jim when i went to work at Palisades as an electrician back in about 1984. Though I only was aquainted with Jim for about 3 months. We worked together on some projects at the power plant a few times. Jim was a first class guy and I really enjoyed his comradship. He spoke often of fishing, Wolf Lake fish hatcherey and other places around, and of course, Musky fishing. Again, sorry for your loss and I have thought of Jim often over the years. He was A real good guy and great to work with. Sincerly, Stan Bennett St. Joseph, Mi.

Diane, What can I say? I have lost a brother. 10 years old, Jim and I became together as one. 48 years later, a part of me has gone. When you came along it was only then did I see him totally happy. Life complete. I knew you were made for each other. My heart and soul goes out to you in so many ways. This journey of life, will not be the same with out him in it. Love you, heavy heart for you, tears. Dennie

Diane, Jennifer, and Mike.. Opal and Oma... .I know, at this time, it is hard to understand the events of the last several days. Just know that GOD sees the entire picture, and one day, we will be able to get the answer to all of the 'whys.' I know from the experience of losing one so close, that the days ahead will not be easy. Depend on the Grace of God to get you through. Keep the good memories alive. Although, we were miles apart, I always felt so much closer. I have felt your love and support, I pray that you will be able to feel mine. I am asking God to take care of each of you. Although it seems impossible, God's strength will get you through the days ahead. When I think of Jim, I will always remember what a special place he held in Moma's and Daddy's heart, as well as mine. It is ironic that he will be buried on Dad's birthday. God bless our families as we mourn his passing. Love to all of you. Anita
