"Remembering Jim for his smile and kind ways. My sincere sympathy to his sons and family and all who knew and loved him. May God's comfort and blessings be with you. Sis Kaminski"
"Jim was such a loving, empathetic brother who really cared about others and I will forever be grateful for the comfort he provided us during my mother's illness and death. I'm sure Jehovah will remember his good works. Carol Foreman"
"I received a card from Jim a few months ago and at first was surprised because men don't usually send cards but then I remembered this was Jim. Jim was there to say or do whatever was needed to make your day better. He loved to cook and I would laugh as he rolled around his house here in Columbus to prepare his and Ann's meals. He loved his Troyer bologna and we always brought him some back when we went to Amish country. He will be missed by many but is in Jehovah's memory and now we have to remain close to Jehovah to see him young and healthy. My prayer's are with his family and his sons what a wonderful example of how a servant of Jehovah conducts themselves. With Love Mary Tudor Southeast Columbus "
"A very dear Brother and friend. His loyalty to Jehovah is an example to imitate. He will be sadly missed. May the God of all comfort help you (the family and friends) to endure this sad loss and be strengthened by the wonderful hope of the resurrection."
