My dad loved the Shiek and he hated serious obituaries.
To Jim, Jeff, Jason and Krause Family
So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.
You had two great parents. Jim was a kind and good
Neighbor who will be missed. I remember how meticulous he was with his lawn. He did our lawn too.
Big Jim was there for his boys. He would do anything for the. Babysit their cats, take them trapping, drive miles to visit, buy them whatever they liked for Christmas or help them fix anything that needed repair.
He loved his grandsons. He couldn't believe how fast they grew or how smart they were.
He always listened to what you said. He remembered little details about you and made sure he asked how things were going.
He hardly ever sat still during the day in his active years. He loved to tinker with things. He was knowledgeable about automotive issues. His years on the automotive line made him a wealth of information and insight.
He loved to go out to eat and enjoyed being with his family. That is where he seemed the most comfortable.
He was honest and dependable. He is missed and loved.
