Melissa, Craig, Kim and Family, My condolences to you all in the passing of your dad. He was an amazing human being with a divine soul of kindness and generosity. He always had the best stories to tell and could find the humor in anything. What a life role model he was. He and your mom, were like extended family and I remember growing up referring to them as Aunt and Uncle. Your dad and my dad were such good friends all the way through. So many of them got together to share such happy times over the years. Your dad was so kind to keep in touch after my dad''s passing. Uncle Jim will be greatly missed but never forgotten and his legacy of kindness will continue to be celebrated through you all and by all who had the privilege to know him.

Melissa, Kim, and Craig, I was so saddened to learn of your dad’s passing. I have such fond memories of A. James, growing up as a kid all the way up until now He was a great friend to my parents, and my entire family. He was always there for them and for me, up until the very end. He had such a friendly demeanor and a generosity towards all, that is very rare these days I will never forget all of our hunting and fishing adventures, nor his heart and soul towards others! May he Rest In Peace. He was a wonderful man and is sorely missed, but will be forever missed. Condolences to you and your families Jack

Craig. It has been a long time since you swam that race with your suit near your ankles, but I just saw that your father passed and I wanted to send you a note! Your Dads visits across the street from my parents, with Russ Teague were always so fun when I was growing up. He and my folks would chat and laugh all afternoon. That crew was special and looking back I realize how lucky we were to have such a remarkable set of parents and roll models. I hope you are well and can cherish many such memories as well. All the best, pam

Craig, Ruth and family, I am sorry for the loss of this great man. I have heard so much about him from Cam years ago. I do see where Cam got his good looks from, he is a spitting image of his Grandfather! I also see where Riss got her name from, her Grandmother! Please know that I am thinking of you during this hard time.

I really enjoyed getting to know Jim through Kiwanis and loved his dispatches from "Westline Willie." He was such a fun and warm guy and also a real community pillar. Thinking of you all. May his memory be a blessing.
— Kimberly Weinberg

Melissa, Craig, and your families, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. If I remember correctly, he helped my late husband, Tom, and me when we bought our home. It''s the same home I live in today. Tom knew your dad better than I did, and I know he always thought very highly of him. May God comfort you and give you peace. May He also bring many happy memories to your mind today and in the days to come. God bless you and your families.

Jim was always remembering friends in need and he will be sadly missed
— Madeline Miles

We will always remember Jim fondly and with a smile. On several occasions we were able to enjoy Jim’s humor as he performed as “Ole,” the Swedish immigrant who brought a lot of laughter to his audience. Jim was a neighbor, with his grandmother and parents living across the street, and a friend. Westline has lost a favorite son.

Melissa and family. We were so sorry to read of the passing of Jim. Jim hired me at Northwest Savings Bank, he was a wonderful boss, a mentor and friend. He was such a kind gentleman, always had a smile (laugh) and a story. We got to speak with him a few times at Chapel Ridge and now, so happy we had that opportunity. I’m sure this is a very trying time for you all but I’m also, positive you will always have wonderful memories. Our thoughts are with you.

Craig, I am sorry for the loss of what appears to be a man who left quite a legacy. Life seems way to short for those we love. It appears your father lived a full and meaningful life and seemed to have fit several lifetimes into one. There are not many lime these old warriors who made this country great left. Our prayers and condolences to you and Ruthie and your others siblings, Craig. Regards Dan Champagne and family
— Dan Champagne

Melissa and Family How very sorry I was to read of your Dad’s passing. He was truly a wonderful man. Bill Lowery’s appraising partner and Denny Lowery’s friend and Northwest Savings fellow employee. Always a smile with such a sense of humor. He had the kindest heart and was a true gentle man. One of the best. He and Narissa together again must bring joy to your heart. May your memories be a blessing and sustain you in the days ahead. May the day soon come when your thoughts of him brings a smile to your lips before a tear to your eyes. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for your family.
