It doesn’t seem possible that Jim has been gone for 4 years. I miss talking to him and discussing our Archery friends and our tournaments that we both attended. He was truly a Great Man and friend to all. He is truly missed.

Jim,
It has been 3 years since you joined your lovely wife, Ran Khu, aka Sara.  Your only son, Kenneth, seems doing well with his business. He sure makes  you both relieved and pleased in the Heaven. You and Ran Khu are in my mind today and I am thinking about the smile and kindness of you whenever I was visiting you.  I believe that as long as someone is thinking about you with memories, you are still here with us.  Miss you and Ran Khu, good folks!

Jim was like a second father to me and a grandpa to my daughter I am sure he would be so excited to hear that she will be having a baby in June. So many great memories were made that I can not pick just one. He is missed and talked about in so many fishing stories. He had a huge impact on my life Thanks Jim for your friendship.

My father is Mike Musser. I remember living nearby on Sawtooth as a child. I was supposed to go straight down the road from the school to get home, but somehow I got lost. I was riding my bike around crying when I saw Jim’s American flag flying in front of his house. It was a huge relief to know I was somewhere familiar and safe. My dad thought the world of Jim, and I’ll always remember him as a very nice man. 

We’ve known James for about 2&1/2 years, since our daughter Jennifer first started dating then married his son Ken.  He became both my husband and my brother and we loved him dearly.  There will definitely be a hole missing in my heart he filled.  I can’t wait to reunite with him one day in Heaven.  I am very thankful that his son is also ours.  We will miss you James.  Love, Chris and Kim.

His my husband's cousin who is a dear to me. It was a shocked when my husband Jimmy told me the bad news when I get home from work.  I've known him since 2005, he always stopped by and stay for a week in our house before going fishing and after going back to Texas. My kids loves him so much. He is a very kind, warmhearted person. He always there for me and my family. He will never be forgotten and will always in our heart. He is a God's Blessing to us. 

Always enjoyed Jim's visits to us in Wisconsin. He loved my German cooking and fishing with my husband. Our daughter had adopted him as her grandpa. Loved listening to all his stories from Germany. Knew him for 20 years and that was a great blessing. We will miss him but one day we will see him again. 

Jim was a great friend of mine for about  15 years. We participated in quite a few Archery tournaments together, and he was one of the best Archers around. To me, he was as good as most Olympic team members.  He was always cordial and willing to help anyone seeking his advice. I asked his opinion many times. He was always willing to help!

Jim was a family man, and loved his son, daughter in law, and step granddaughter very much.  Upon his wife's death in 2009, you could tell that Jim lost his soulmate. He loved his wife dearly.

A couple of times a year, I would meet up with Jim and we would eat at Red Lobster. He loved his seafood, and would tell me of his trips up north to fish with his friends. 

His love of his dogs was another part of his life.  They will miss him!

Jim is finally at Peace and all his health problems are behind him.  I will truly miss my friend, but, I know that he is now joining hands with his wife, and talking about Archery to anyone that will listen.  Rest in Peace, Jim!
