James A. Essie

The Badger Honor Flight Committee and Board are thankful for James' military service and proud to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C.

He always had great stories and he would sing me an Irish song because my name is Katie. He certainly liked HS sports. He will be missed. Katie Kelsner and Bob Swenson

Jim was always a soft-spoken, gentle man and a good companion to our dear Louise and I always enjoyed being in his company. we know the love that the two of them shared and the care and support that Jim gave Louise during her time of death. May he truly rest in peace and the rest of us rejoice that once again the two of them can be together. Frank and Jim
