Jerry Chadbourn wrote a sympathy message

“There are so many memories of times shared with Jim and his initial family. The many Christmas visits made to Winona from Milwaukee when our children were young created bonding experiences. As so, with the many camping and travel adventures. Although having lost touch with Jim over the past decades, I will always cherish the memories of those good moments. Jerry Chadbourn”
