birth. Jim and Nancy raised their boys in rural Ohio. After Jim and Nancy moved to Minnesota, they attended Immanuel Lutheran Church - Silo. The Silo congregation became their special friends, and the Jerry and Cheryl Larson family became part of Jim and Nancy's family. After Nancy's death, Jim found the courage to live on with encouragement from his children. Jim met Marcia Vickmark in church, and they married May 1st, 2010. They shared 5 wonderful years together before Jim's dementia became severe. Jim's family relocated him to California where Andy and his wife Dora helped provide in-home care. Jim was a memorable character - stories about him could fill a book. He was a hard businessman with an immutable sense of truth, honor and fairness. He also had a softer side and a big heart that he showed to those he loved. Jim is survived by his wife Marcia, 2 sons, 10 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, 4 siblings, Marcia's family and many very special friends. He was preceded in death by his son Chris and first wife Nancy. A funeral will be held at 3:00 PM, August 20 at Immanuel Lutheran Church - Silo, near Lewiston. Interment will be at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery - Silo. In lieu of flowers (waste of good money according to Jim!) it is requested that donations be made to the Immanuel Lutheran Silo School.
