My deepest condolences to you, Maggi, and your girls. I met Jim a few times, and probably the most memorable time was when we were out on Lake Minnetonka with you years ago. As we were headed out in to the lake from the shore, you and Jim behind us in your boat, unbeknownst to us, our new little 8-week puppy had fallen out of our boat and was struggling to stay afloat. You and Jim saw what had happened and Jim immediately jumped in the water and saved him!! For that we will always be greatful. But, even more memorable than that, was that whenever you would talk about Jim, you would always say that one of the best things about him was that he made you laugh. Hang on to those wonderful memories. He'll always be watching over you and your girls. Your friend, Vicki Chryst;

Margaret & Family, What I will miss most about Jim was his laughter and tender heart. Randy and Jim loved to tell stories to make each other laugh. God will give you the strength you need for the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Sharon (Semper Fi!)
