Only met Jim once at a church event, but he made an impression. I very much enjoyed talking with him. Even though I was not a member he made me feel comfortable, even some humor regarding my other memberships.

A family that I grew up with at church lost their patriarch last night. We had a tight knit ward, lots of families, kids the same age, parents that hung out together, etc. This man teased my sister and myself, had a wonderful laugh to rival my Dad's, gave me my first paying "job" (outside of babysitting) at the swapmeet, and always had a smile and a firm handshake (even to a 10-yr-old girl!) My heart aches for the Gerken famiy, and I am praying for the comfort that Father in Heaven can give to them. (((hugs))) to Kay, Julie, Jeff, Vicki, their spouses and children. 'Till we meet again Jim!  Erica
