In his free time he enjoyed working with his hands – tinkering, building things, repairing, and woodworking. Of all things, family was of the utmost importance to Jim. He was always there for anyone who needed him. He loved talking on the phone with friends and extended family. He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his daughter, Pamela Hesser; grandson, Stanley “Wally” Fredericksen; and a host of nieces and nephews.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cordeman twice. Both times he was helping Pam whom I have also had the pleasure of knowing for many years. They were always there to help one another. My heartfelt prayers go out to Pam and family
