Sorry to hear about Uncle Jim, glad I was able to visit with Jim & Nancy not too long ago and we had a good get together and is a good memory.  I remember Jim & Nancy being at my sister's  wedding and was glad they were able to make it and sit with them on the boat ride. Will pray for Uncle Jim & the rest of his family & Uncle Jim will be missed.

Grandpa Jim my best friend and favorite person on earth. You made me a better person, and better man, and helped me see the world in a lighter path and to be a good person to all. The memories I have with you I’ll never forget and cherish for the rest of my life. To waking up at 4 in the morning to go eat breakfast to waking up grandma with military colors. Watching monk and AFV at night laughing and happy. I thank you for always making sure me and my brothers had what we needed and giving us opportunities to go places eat food and have a sense of security what didn’t always have growing up. I thank you grandpa I love you I miss you, till we see each other again.

NANCY YOU ARE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. HE WILL BR FOREVER IN YOUR HEART NEVER FORGOTTEN LOVED ETERNALLY

I will always have fond memories of Uncle Jim, my Godfather.  He had a great sense of humor and such an attentive personality.  I only remember him calling me the nickname he gave me, never Michelle, it was so  uniquely *Uncle Jim*, he will be greatly missed. 

Jim was my co-worker for 26 years.  In addition to work, we enjoyed playing golf in the Federal Golf League and the annual IDI (Intelligence Division Invitational).  The picture below is from the 30th and final IDI on September 9, 2005. I will always remember Jim's nickname “The Claw Master” because of how he gripped his club! 
After Jim had heart surgery he worked very hard to stay healthy and took up running.  We did several runs together and I remember one in particular which was far out of town on a freezing cold and rainy day.  I thought for sure Jim would want to cancel (because I did!) but the Marine in him said no way so I went along and stuck it out, happy afterwards that I finished.
Those experiences and all the laughs I had with Jim were great but he did something else for me which was amazing….When I told him I didn’t have a partner for the Federal Golf League tournament he thought about it and said “Why don’t you call Crone?” I looked at him funny and said “Why?” (I didn’t know Dick Crone at all) and Jim said because he has a low handicap and you have a high one.  I didn’t know it at the time but Jim was a little matchmaker and not in the golf sense.  I ended up playing golf with Dick Crone 100% because of Jim and we were married within a year!  I will always be indebted to Jim and after he moved to Tucson I made sure every Christmas card had a family update and pictures of our two children.
Rest in peace Jim, I will not forget you.



Sad you weren’t near enough for us to say goodbye uncle Jim , we had many great holidays when the family got together, I’m sure you are being welcomed up there with open arms and the card games are ready for you. Just don’t try to sneak the pie, lol. You always got caught red handed. You will definitely be missed ❤️ Love and hugs. 

Jim was one of my best friends and co-workers for almost 50 years. We had a ton of memories on and off the job.

Most people know Jim became a golf addict! Once Jim took up golf, he played the game like the former Marine he was. A big woods in between him and the green? No problem. Go around it? Not Jim. He would always try to pull off a next to impossible shot and most of the time, it never worked out but it was so incredibly entertaining to watch him try!

When Jim was in the Marine Corps, one story he told me, I never forgot. He was a young Marine stationed in Korea after the cease fire. He knew some locals and was invited to a wedding. The “latrine” at the reception was a tent that had a ditch dug in it. So young Marine Jim Ansier went to the latrine to relieve himself. The tent was dark, so after dropping his pants and squatting over the ditch, his eyes started to adjust to the dark and he soon realized someone else was squatting right next to him:  It was the bride!

Work wise, we also had a lot of interesting moments. Around 1973, Jim and I were working on a case and we flew from Denver to Aspen, Colorado. In those days, you took whatever rental car was available. We ended up with a car with a manual transmission. It was then I first learned that former Marine Jim Ansier did not know how to drive a stick shift and I had to do all of the driving.  I poked fun at him for years because everyone knows every Marine knows how to drive a stick!

Jim was a great guy, a great patriot and a dedicated and hardworking federal agent. Jimmy had a long, great and interesting life. His zest for life was reborn when he met Nancy and moved to Tucson. Take care my friend, we’ll never forget you.

Uncle Jim you are my favorite Uncle.  You'll be missed very much.  I love you so much. RIP

So sorry for your great loss . My uncle Jim will be missed. I’m glad to have fond memories of him. I recall my uncle as always being thoughtful when a child and finding fun things to do . He took me sledding in a blizzard. We had a blast. I remember one Christmas he bought me a doll that was taller than myself. It was the best gift I ever got. He always called me Maruschka! I guess it means Mary Ellen in Polish! He was a lot of fun . I will miss my Uncle Jim …RIP. Love you.

Uncle Jim will be missed . So sorry for your great loss . 
I have many great memories of him for when a young man.He actually took me for my drivers license test - with his own vehicle! I remember when he had some rental properties and I would help him fix a roof and other things that needed fixing . Well all of a sudden he would say “,let’s go the the Braves ball game ‘. So we would just  drop what we were doing and go! He took me serval times!  I also have to share that he took me to the airport when I enlisted in the Air Force!  He was a kind thoughtful Uncle. … Rest In Peace 

Jim was my golfing partner in the Federal Golf League for many years.  I always loved his special voice mail messages.  He was a devoted family man and wil be missed.

Dear Elizabeth and family, 
We send you our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear Dad. Our thoughts are with you. 
Stephanie and Rob Clark


One memory I have is when my first granddaughter and Liz’s niece was born Jim bought her an Amber necklace because her name is Amber. I always thought that was very sweet. He was a good man. I know his family will miss him greatly and I hope his memories will help ease the pain a little.

RIP Uncle Jim..you will missed..Love Moon❤️😇

Richelle and I were deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing.  Our prayers go out to Nancy and the family at this time of grief.  I will always think fondly of Jim for the many laughs and good times we had in Wisconsin on the golf courses, bowling lanes and group get togethers.  I was a co-worker with Jim at IRS and greatly appreciated his leadership and direction there.  I will miss his sharp and witty sense of humor.  I will toast Jim with a vodka gimlet (light on the Rose's lime juice) at my next opportunity.  Rest in peace Jim.
