initially devoted their time to renovating a farmhouse once owned by her father. Jim continued to do various construction jobs, but he mostly enjoyed finishing walnut-slab and cedar-slab tabletops. The family continues to cherish the Haldane family cabin located in Grand Mesa, Colorado. Jim had spent time there nearly every summer since the age of five. He loved to fish, especially for trout, and was an avid reader. He was known for his humor and his mean chili. Jim was preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his wife Linda; daughters Jill Fibikar (Eric) of Lawler, Iowa, and Angela of Omaha, Nebraska; a granddaughter Emmy Fibikar (22 months old); and a grandson is expected in June. His older brothers Bill (Carolyn) of Bozeman, Montana, and Dick of Riggins, Idaho, mourn the loss of their brother. Jim's life is also celebrated by many cousins, other family, neighbors, and friends in many places.
