I first met Jim in 1978, he has been a customer & friend since then. Each year I looked forward to seeing him in the spring and again in the fall if for no other reason just to hear his latest story or joke. We appreciate the friendship that has developed through our business and continues with Teresa. Our hearts go out to the entire community that Jim called family, he will be missed. He was by far the most positive & upbeat person I ever met. Truly, John & Sally Kloosterman

I just found out about Jim's passing from a prayer request from Father Mike. I am blessed to see the depth of your faith that he is in a better place, a place he has worked all of his life to get to. Many a soul will be touched seeing how his passing is celebrated as the beginning of life with Jesus in eternity. Please know, I continue to pray for your families. I will also include prayer for the repose of his soul. Take care. Kathy Moser

Dear Teresa , Ron and Shirley:

Bruce and my heart breaks for you. We loved your Dad always a smile on his face such a gentle and caring person. We enjoyed our times with you, Jim and Shirley at SIA such fun memories.

It won’t be the same not to see him at the shop, god bless our prayers are with all of you.

Fondly Michelle and Bruce Marsh

I am so sorry to have to miss the service as I will be going to the Cities to my kids for Thanksgiving. All my prayers will be with you all!!

Dear Dullum Family, while our hearts our broken for you and all of our Nisswa family, we remember all of the wonderful conversations, laughs and great advice Jim would give our kids as we made our daily visits to Martin’s whenever we were in town. We are just hearing of Jim’s passing and we send our condolences and love from Maple Grove. I am thankful that I was able to have one last conversation with Jim this past MEA weekend. Of course, he was wondering where the rest of my crew was and wanted to know how the kids were doing. He will truly be missed! ❤️

Love, Lee, Faith, Grace and Scarlett Lira
