Becca, Jamie, Sara, and Alex, I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He certainly loved you girls more than anything. When Becca and Jamie were going to the University of Iowa, he visited Iowa City for a Newman Singer event. He made a ham dinner at our home for his girls, and you could see that it made him so happy to have you all together. We pray that God will grant you peace at this heartbreaking time. Blessings and condolences to all of Jim's family and friends.

Dear Harry, John and family,
I am sorry to read of Jim's death. I haven't really seen him since we were in high school but I remember he was a nice person and fun to be around. I am sure he was a good father and grandfather as well. One of my sweetest childhood memories is of a day when Ed and I came to play with Jim and John, and Katie and I spent the afternoon painting my fingernails while the boys played outside. Jim and your family will be in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Mary Huneke
Cedar Rapids, IA.
