My condolences to the Lundeen family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
I knew Jim from IBEW local 292 and from inspecting many of his electrical jobs over the years. He was an excellent electrician, contractor and a great person. Jim was always honest and straightforward and gave his customers his best. The trade and world has lost a good man.He will be missed.

Dear Bonnie & family-Our deepest condolences! Jim was a special man whose faith was inspirational! One particularly sweet memory was when he told me he'd been praying for our marriage every week and this was several years in--because of how much he cared for Wayne! What a gift! God comfort you at this time of loss! Love and prayers!

We certainly didn't know Jim very well because we had only known him a few months from church. Just by talking to him you could tell he was a real man of God and very wise. Jim - I had a thousand questions I wanted to ask you - will see you on the other side! Will be praying for you Bonnie, Linton and the rest of the family.
