4 Condolences
So very sorry for your loss. Prayers going your way.may he rest inpeace
Jim and I met at the Orscheln shows, We had seminars together, he showed me the ropes. We went to them every year then I would see him at the Sutherlands shows. We started going to supper after they were over. I always convinced him that I bought the supper the previous year. He would tell me I sound like his boys. He was like a father figure to me. We would talk on the phone and always had great advice for whatever I needed. He will truly be missed, He made a impression on me that will last forever. He was that type of person. I am glad I got to know him!!!!!!
We would like to express to our deepest sympathy. Please know that the hearts of others are deeply touched by your loss. Take comfort in knowing that our loving heavenly father is near to those with a broken heart, and He will sustain you during this difficult time (Psalm 34:18). You have our sincerest condolences.
I just happened onto this site just thinking about Jim on this rainy Sunday in Muskogee ok. My friend Jim and my son had, I feel a very unique relationship in that I think we were very
close and not many of my friends or family new Jim and his
don’t know us . I loved Jim and was very saddened to hear he
lost his battle. We prayed with and for Jim so I know he was saved therefore he is in a better place. Josh and I offer our
condolences to the family, we all will miss him but a
part of him will always be with us. At the farm is where we got
away from busy!! There I know he lived life to the fullest. In
his last days we were with him when he took his last 2 white
tails and man he went nuts happy, that’s how we’re going
live. Thank you for sharing him. Randy Garroutte. 918-869-
