Love you Brother Dear…I remember taking that photo at the wedding of our niece. We had a great time then like always. We have had many wonderful memories together. You now can have your pie with mama for your next birthday. When I would ask “how are you? The answer would always be “oh wonderful”. Give our Mother and Father and siblings a hug from me. I will never forget you and your time on Earth. Until we meet again in Heaven know I’ll be thinking of you everyday..Love you Jim

Love ya
The logan Class of 1969 sends our Condolences to his family. There is now a memorial bench at Eagles Watch to commemorate classmates who have passed. Sadly, Jim joins them.
Thank you for doing the very nice jester of posting classmates deaths on a memorial bench. I wish our class of 1960 would have started something like that. Great way to remember classmates. Judi Neuverth, Jim’s oldest sister. ?
Thank you very much I’ll have to make it over there to see it one day
So very sorry about the passing of Jim. Sending his family our thoughts and prayers. He was a great coach to the kids of Brice Prairie. Always greeted you with a smile. Rest in peace.
Thank you he will be buried up in West Salem and Hamilton Cemetery with military honors and then there will be a celebration of life very simple at the Brice Prairie first responder building right afterwards. If you would like to attend just check back on the Coulee region cremation site for the day as we have not picked one yet
Oh our precious brother, we’ve had a lot of memories. Will miss our “bets” with Packers vs Eagles when they played each other. You always took care of our Mother and sisters. Your turn to rest in peace now brother dear. Love you more! ❤️?
Jim will definitely be missed. He was apart of us 4 siblings in a group text message board and was always encouraging and we appreciated the fact that he was with us up to the very end of his life. He would usually let us know when the Packer’s would be on tv, and when BB would be on tv. He was “on top” of letting us girls know when other games would be on tv also…such as when the Hawkeye’s or the Phillies’ or even the Ray’s would be playing football or baseball. Those teams were on his mind too, as ours. Yes, he will be missed by: Judi, Gloria and Mari and our families. We had many great memories together. Love and hugs to Deb and families. ??
My deepest condolences to Aunt Debbie, Freddie, Jamie, Sherry and family. We all truly lost a bright soul in such a dark world. I miss you and love you with all my heart. Now you are my angel. Keep sending me signs ? Give everyone a hug from me in heaven. Till we meet again. I love you Uncle Jimmy. Thank you for being the best God father and Uncle a girl could ask for. ?
