Jimmy was around for my entire life. What a fun Cousin! I enjoyed hunting, fishing and hanging around with him. I was probably a pest of a little kid, but he never let on if he thought I wasn’t welcome. I tried to visit him and Linda whenever I came back to Omaha and he always made me feel welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed his old jokes, which reminded me of all the adults in my past. I’ll miss Jimmy and all of his contemporaries. I loved you, Man!
Jim was always fun to be around. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.
Linda and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Barbara Frahm and Family
Great memories with the Jim as a child. He always made 4th of July pop!
May he rest in peace.
