James ’s Story

Site created on November 25, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place as our dad is amazing and well loved. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Most of all, what our dad wants at this time is privacy and to spend time with his family. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Katie Handlogten

We are heartbroken to share with you that Dad passed early this morning at home, surrounded by those he loved and who love him dearly. In his last hours, he was comfortable.

While we are overwhelmed by grief and loss, we also are comforted by our memories of him and the knowledge that he is finally at peace.

We are making arrangements today and tomorrow regarding a funeral and/or visitation early next week. We will post updates here and/or in the obituary in Post Bulletin. Please share with those who knew and loved him. 

Edited to add: 
Dad’s celebration of life will happen on Tuesday February 25. We will have a visitation from 10-11am, a service from 11am-12pm, and a light luncheon from 12-1pm at River Park Chapel, Macken Funeral Home. All who knew and loved our dad, or who were impacted by his legacy are welcome to attend.
