Joyce and family. I am so sad to hear about Jim. He was my teaching partner for eleven of my twelve years in Watford City. He was such a great guy to work with. We had such a good time together. He was such a good husband, father, and grandfather. In fact one of the last times I talked to him, he was at the playpark with his grandkids. Rick really enjoyed golfing with him on their Thursdays.

I am so sorry that we are not able to attend his funeral. Please know that we are thinking of you.

Fondly, Rick and Nancy

Though many years have passed since we visited, the memories were always there. Memories that began when we shared a small apartment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon while we were in college; Mrs. Dixon lost another of her "boys." Such a wonderful friend.

So many great memories of Uncle Jim. His laugh was amazing and he knew how trade jokes. He saw Kristin and me through some rough times too and you knew that you could always walk over and get a big hug. We are thinking of you all and wish that we could be with you. It's hard to write "the right thing" but please know that you are always in our hearts.
