To Jim’s family,
I knew Jim from high school. We were in the class of “72”. He was always a lot of fun. Didn’t see him much after high school.
My condolences to the family and always remember the good times.
Didn’t know Jim real good, but I like to send my prayers and condolences. Graduated the same year and knew him from living in Adams-Friendship. My prayers are with you buddy! Mike and Carol Skotzke

I worked with Jim for many years at DOR. He was the most dedicated I.T. professional that there was. He really cared for his co-workers and his technology customers. He will be missed but not forgotten. As Roy Rogers said, Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.
Many of us at the WI Dept of Revenue Division of Technology Services have worked with him in so many ways. He was a dedicated professional. We supported him through all his challenges and he never lost sight of that. He will definitely be missed and we know that he is in a far better place.
So, let me ask God to give you all His Grace and Comfort in these sad times.
My deepest sympathy to Jims family. I knew Jim thru working at the Dept of Revenue. Jim was a quiet private kind of guy. He had a great sense of humor and always had a grin on his face. Even though the last few years had been very challenging health wise for Jim, he would always push forward. He even went out to buy himself a bike that he could ride on the paths around town. I know he was looking forward to more rides this summer. I am sure that he is up there drinking a cold beer with his buddies, living pain free and enjoying retirement. Jim will greatly be missed.
Dear Jameson Family,
Luke was a former neighbor when he lived on Madison eastside 25+ years ago. During the summer months, families on the cul-de-sac would enjoy impromptu Friday evening grill nights. It was time where everyone could unwind and take time to visit. We all enjoyed Luke’s John Wayne like personality…quiet ways, not a bad word about anyone, and dry sense of humor. He was always nice to my now adult children and willing to help out anyone if needed.
Luke will be missed and remembered fondly. We are deeply sorry for your loss,
Former neighbors from Levine Court

To Jim’s family
I worked with Jim for 10 years at Revenue. We had cubicles side by side for many years. We were close friends at work. I live in Baraboo so our out of work lives never crossed. I was very sad to learn that he had died. I have been retired for 8 years but we had communicated by letter a couple of times. My sincere sympathy to the family. I have been and will be thinking of Jim.
