Uncle Jim will be greatly missed. He was a ball of energy and was always the life of the room. Camping won't be the same without him. Love you Uncle Jim.

So sorry for your loss. I also lost my son this week-he was only 37 and left behind 3 girls and a wife. This was our first tragedy in our family-it was unbearable all week long but somehow we got through it. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of your family and I will say a prayer for you all. !

Hear hear. I knew Big Jim only from the e-campfire/facebook world, but knew how much he loved life, hunting, his job, his family. He personally invited me many times to join hunts and I never did. I really wish I had. With deepest sympathies to his wife and family, I know Jim is on the big hunt now, guiding Fred Bear to the next adventure.

Our love and prayers are with each of you. We had the pleasure of knowing Big Jim through TNKFK, Sunrize and outdoor/concert events. You hold a special place in our hearts as our experience at Heather's boar hunt was a memorable one in many ways for our family! God grant each of you His peace beyond all human understanding. Until we meet again our friend...

I am unable to make it to the visitation or service but have Big Jim in my thoughts and prayers. I am taking time now to reflect on the memories of Jim and pray with all the family and friends at this 2:00 service. Penny, my deepest sympathy and condolences to you. He really did make a lasting impression on all those that he came in contact with. And how good was his secret recipe raspberry sauce? He will be missed but never forgotten. Life is a short journey and Jim lived it well. Peace to you brother and enjoy that big hunt in the sky.
