Cynthia and family. Cynthia, we just talked about your dad at my last appointment. Reading the obituary certainly shows what an interesting man your father was and I know from our discussions he was a great father and a quality man. Please accept our condolences and know your family is in our thoughts. Hold him in your heart. Harry and Colleen Kohn

Sheral, and Jim's family. Becky and I along with our Coast Guard shipmates from Lifeboat Station St. Joseph, Michigan extend our deepest sympathy in your loss. Jim was a true Coast Guardsman, and was deeply respected by his shipmates. There are many alive today due to his many heroic rescues. Fair winds and following seas Jim....

Such beautiful tributes to a great man. Of course several of us would not be here today if it were not for Jim's tenacious search for our boat, August 1978. He was the one who found us, and we are forever grateful to him. The bell sounds for all who have gone before us in celebration of their joyous reunion above. Godspeed ❤
