Karen, Jim's passing comes as a complete shock to me. Of all places, I met Jim, along with his friend Ed in Myrtle Beach a few years ago. Every following year i looked forward to seeing them and sharing a beer at the Red Parrot. That's where I first met them and told him that I had gone to school with you at Monona Grove before moving over to LaFollette. What a small world. I didn't see them last year, so I was concerned something was wrong. This is very sad news. I feel terrible that I can't make it to the funeral, so I want to pass along my deepest sympathy, Karen. Your former classmate, Bob Briggs

Jim was my brother-in-law for 20 years so I watched him grow up, attend high school and the University of Wisconsin and get married to Karen. He was a wonderful guy everyone will miss a lot. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Lois (Anderson) Mosso

Jim was a good friend at East High, I, like many people, lost touch because of circumstances in our lives, He was highly intelligent and had a witty sense of humor. He will be missed.
