He was an architect, aviator, race car buff, photographer and family historian. Jim died peacefully in the historic Cooksville home where he was raised. Burial will take place at Cooksville Cemetery at 9 a.m., Friday, April 19, 2019. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com

I was a classmate of Jim. We often sat together on the schoolbus and I remember him as a very intelligent, knowledgable guy. We had a lot of great conversations on those bus rides--talking about the future , etc.
