Our McNamara/Andersen Family Reunions will never be the same. I remember Jimmie's competitive edge coming through when our families played softball together. I stayed with his family back in the 1970s for the Iowa State H.S. Wrestling meets. Jimmie always made sure we Mc's kept in touch! He will be missed but I know he is in good hands. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone.

Jim was such a true and caring friend to my husband, Marvin. They had great times together, along with George Archer. When Marvin's health began to deteriorate, Jim and George stood by him, watching over him and making sure he was safe. I will alway appreciate Jim's kindness. He truly was a fine man.

We never knew James, but his daughter Cheryl spoke of him often and makes us wish we had. While he will be missed here on Earth, it is just until his loved ones join him again in Heaven where he will be "saving them a seat"! .
