Sandy and family...
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad. I remember Jim with a ready smile and he always greeted you with a big "bear hug". He had a quiet way, but when he spoke, you listened because he got right to the heart of the matter and he always had great advise. His integrity, work ethic and caring nature were an example for everyone.

I was so very saddened to learn of Jim's passing and regret that I will be out of town for the memorial. I have known Jim and Josephine for many years from the time Stanislaus Foods was owned by my family, the original owners. Jim surely will be missed by all of us; he was a gentleman of integrity.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Sandy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your dad. I always enjoyed watching his truck go by when I lived on my farm. For the past year, your dad stopped in to check on my Ben occasionally and to give him tips on farming. I appreciated all he did to help expand Ben's farming knowledge. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Gospel of John
What an honor and blessing to know Jim as a friend. His gifts,character,and humility defined the GREATEST GENERATION and among their number, which includes my own late Father Robert Fromm, Jim was at the top. Thank you Jim for your life of love and sacrifice which has inspired us to this point and will continue to be a model for us until we meet again.

Uncle Jim was a special man. From a little girl, I remember riding in his red truck and trikes with Jereme in their driveway. He was so proud of his family. My heart goes out to all of you at the loss of one amazing man!

Sandy,Gary,Jereme,Brandon, and Tara. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Uncle Jim was an amazing man who was an inspiration to me. Always had a smile on his face, sitting in his chair watching his grandsons play baseball. Never heard him complain, and remember him by his great sense of humor. He was such a humble man that truly lived his life as an example. He will be greatly missed. Love you guys.
