So sad to loose my brother! He was a handsome guy and had a great sense of humor, always made us laugh! Jim and Gary ( brother-in-law) had fun talking golf and other sports. Gary called him "Jimbo". Loved our phone conversations. Jim kept trying to get me to do websites with him. I actually contemplated a log cabin made out of empty gun shells, he sent me all the info! Never quite got it off the ground. I loved all his fun get rich ideas. Miss my bro and send my love and prayers to all my family in ND.

Very sad to hear of the loss of my uncle Jim. Although I hadn't seen him in a number of years, I will always remember him full of life with a big smile. He always had so much fun with his nieces & nephews and was just a big kid at heart. He loved to tease us, show us "magic tricks", and whatever else he could do to get us to laugh! I will treasure my memories always.....gone to soon. Rest in peace!

My sympathies go out to Jims Family. Jim is my cousin and was two years behind me in school. His brother Paul and I were classmates. Although I have not seen Jim fpr many years I have many found memories growing up in Lankin and spending time with him. My fondest memory is when Jim and I spent all day riding his horse Apache in my Grandmas back yard. We raced to see would have the fastest time to the back alley. It was a blast.
