I know he is still missed by everyone. Sending you all hugs. Love, Lynne 

I am sure Jim is deeply missed one of the nicest people I met while in the National Guard and in business. Became a friend.

Cannot believe it’s been a whole year. Thinking of your smile today. Lynne Jebens

Tom and his family were both fun and impactful people in the ELDRIDGE community for me growing up. Got loans from Tom at Central Trust, I went to school with his son Tom  and his daughter Amy who had such an amazing heart. Sending hugs & prayer...

JIM WAS A WONDERFUL MAN AND COUSIN.   WE WOULD SEE EACH OTHER AT COLLAGE PLUS AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE YEARS AGO, ALL THE COUSINS CAME TO GRANDMAS HOUSE AND WE PLAYED  IN THE YARD WITH FRUIT AND WOULD EAT IT.    SO MANY TIMES GATHERINS AT THE TANK'S IN ELDRIDGE, IOWA. I MISS ALL OF IT SO MUCH.   JIM WAS ALWAYS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND I WILL MISS HIM.   GOD BLESS MY FRIEND AND COUSIN.  AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY EACH YEAR, MY FUTURE HUSBAND BILL AND JIM WOULD PLAY PING PONG AND JIM ALWAYS SLAM DUNK AND THAT PING PONG BALL WOULD SAIL PAST BILL.  JIM ALWAYS WON.   GOOD MEMORIES AND WE MISS MY COUSIN.


Still another wonderful memory of Leclaire road. The Tanks, the two Ewoldts, the Wieses, and the Kochs. We were all the best of best friends. 
I'm told that that Jim and my brother Larry were kept after school one afternoon. With the teacher out of the room, they crawled out the 2nd floor window, scaled the wall and went home. 😅😅 Our blessings to Lorna and all the family.

Deepest Sympathies to all of the family.  I met Jim through Rotary and he always had a big smile, a hug, and a handshake.   Prayers to you Linda, and the entire family.



To the whole Tank Clan. 
So sorry for your loss. The Collins Clan has many fond memories of Jim. He always had a smile and hug for anyone who wanted it. His laugh was infectious and the thought of him makes all of us smile! We are sending hugs and warm, happy thoughts of how much joy Jim brought to the world. He will be missed. He and Karen are probably plotting and Eldridge reunion as we speak!

Dear Tank Family,
    We knew Jim in many different ways--first through the bank, then as a parent, and as a friend.  
    We want to say how much we appreciated Jim for all his services to our community.  We also appreciated his ability to always make you feel special.  He was a "stand out" friendly person.  
    We pray you will be comforted by so many good memories--and by God's special comfort and strength.  

My deepest condolences to Linda and the family on Jim’s passing. He was a great man and a fun loving human. My prayers are with you all. 

Linda & Family,

So sorry to learn of your loss.  Jim was so kind to us when we first met both of you.  Treasure the many wonderful memories you had together and know that Jim is now resting peacefully watching over all of you.

Linda 
My thoughts and prayers are with you.  I so enjoyed the time I spent with you and Jim.  Whether in your home or on a bank trip there was sure to be laughter with Jim around.  Thank you for inviting me into your orbit.  I treasure the memories.

Linda - My sympathies to you and your family.  Jim was a special person and a good friend to Art and I.  

Linda and family, 

Please know our thoughts are with you during this difficult time and accept  our warmest condolences.

Jim, was the most kind and giving person that I ever knew. I had the 
privilege of  knowing Jim through his countless hours of volunteer work at Davenport Good Samaritan facility. Jim will truly be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time. 

My sympathies to his entire family such a great man and such a true Hawkeye will be greatly missed

Jim was a friend who I first did business with at the bank. I found him too be a gracious and friendly  and always a kind word always remembered my face, over many many years. Please know of my sorrow in his passing.

Linda and Family-  Sorry to learn of your loss.  I always enjoyed running into Jim in my working days.   Jim had such a positive outlook and made friends so easily.   We used to laugh about the Tiedje bachelor brothers who lived along the Wapsi.  My sincere condolences.

Linda and family,

You have my sympathies and prayers on Jim's death. I greatly appreciated his long support of the residents and staff of the Good Samaritan Society--Davenport. In my years of managing the annual Good Samaritan Golf Outing, Jim's help and support was invaluable. And he provided important financial management counseling to Good Samaritan staff. Jim was genuine servant.

I especially remember Jim from our yearly golf games we would have at Davenport's Duck Creek Golf course, fun times.  Also the several times I played with Jim and his brother Ken.  Also what a great(?) song leader her was at family reunions.  Loved you Jim

His hugs! I will always think of his big bear hugs. It breaks my heart for the Tank family to have lost a  third family member so Close on top of the others. So many of my dad‘s generation are now passing. As the oldest daughter I think my memories of the trips to Davenport are stronger because of people like Lorna and Jim and Kenny. I remember spending the night numerous times at the Tank home when I was a kid. I send you all my condolences and a big hug. Nothing is more fitting. Love, Lynne 

Our deepest sympathies to Linda and family.  
I will always remember how kind Jim was to me, as I helped care for their home. 
 He always made a point of asking how my family was. That was something I will always remember.
He was, as my husband says, "one of the good guys." 
His love and devotion he shared with Linda was very special.  
Heaven has gained one very special angel.
All our love, 
Jody and Larry Schroeder


I learned of Jim's passing on Facebook just now.  We hope the many family members, friends, and church members will be of support to his close knit family.  We had the pleasure of visiting with him when he was in turn visiting with his sister and her husband.  I can still picture his caring face thanking us for the conversation.

Jim was one of the kindest that I have ever been blessed to know!  He was also an amazing insurance agent!  A bunch of us were true Hawk Fans...Jim one of the best!  He  and Linda were also great friends of my parents!  We join hundreds and hundreds of people who had great respect for this wonderful man!  Rest well our friend...you deserve it!  ❤️

Linda, Children and Lorna,
I have know Jim my entire life. He never failed to greet me with a big smile and warm hug. He will be missed by so many.  
Deepest Sympathy and gentle hugs. 
May your  warmest memories sustain you in the days ahead.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  He was an amazing man and I enjoyed my years working for him at Central Trust and later having him as my insurance agent.  He was one of a kind....with a strong emphasis on KIND!

Jim was a great friend and a leader in our North Scott Community. I had the pleasure of having his children and step-children in my U.S. History,  American Issues, and/or World History classes during my first few years teaching and coaching at North Scott H.S.

Jim was very supportive of them and Tom played second base for us during his athletic career for the Lancers. Jim always had a positive outlook on issues and he always had a smile and wanted to know how your family and you were doing. I don't know where he found the time to be on so many board of directors but he was a positive asset in every group he joined.  He will be missed.

To Amy, Beth, and Tom:  Reconnect with me on Facebook. I would love to catch up. Sue and I are grandparents for the first time and our grandson lives in Minneapolis.

Again, you have our deepest  sympathy in the loss of your dad.
Sincerely,
R.D.

I worked with Jim at Central Trust many years ago.  Jim was the kindest man ever.   He was a wonderful employer and friendly to all.  Gods blessings to his family.   

Linda and Tank Family,
  So sorry to hear of your loss, our prayers are with you. It was an honor to get to know Jim over the years.  A truly great community leader that will be missed for sure. 

Tank Family-
You had a great dad...I remember him running by my grandparents house and with a huge hello and a big wave every time...even if it was raining...Big Jim and his laugh already being missed....

I will never forget your fun loving sense of humor! You always had a smile to share, a good laugh and never passed on a group dance. Peace and prayers go with you Jim.
