So sorry for your loss. My father, Fred, enjoyed Jim's friendship over the years. Jims sense of humor and kindness were limitless. He was one of a kind for sure. The whole Kempfer family will miss the stories and adventures those two shared over the years. Jim will be greatly missed.

It's been along, long time since we were neighbors of James, Ellen & Sharon when they lived in the parsonage in Mazomanie and we lived in the tiny church cottage behind them (early 60s). Great family to have as neighbors and as a pastor. Sincere sympathy, Gloria & Phil Hodgson

My deepest sympathy to the Ullom family. I have been a member of Hope my whole life. My sister was Council president at the time of the fire. To this day, I look at the stain glass windows in the building and remember and appreciate Pastor Ullom's artistic vision for them. He was a gifted and talented pastor.
