An Eagle Scout, Jim was the embodiment of the organization's upstanding principles. He was loved for his earnestness, helpfulness and humility. He took great pride in his children and grandchildren. Jim appreciated small things, especially relaxing at the cabin in northern WI. He loved the challenges of building and woodworking projects and willingly helped friends and family complete theirs. Jim served his country in the U.S. Army, spending all of 1969 in Vietnam. His final resting place will be among the legions of patriotic veterans at Fort Snelling. A service of Celebration and Thanksgiving will take place at The Cremation Society, 4343 Nicollet Ave. So., Minneapolis, on September 18 (10:00 a.m. visitation; 11:00 a.m. service; 12:00 reception). A private interment will be held later at Fort Snelling. In lieu of flowers, to honor Jim's respect for natural places, including the BWCA, friends are invited to make a gift to The Nature Conservancy or their preferred charity.
