Al and I will never forget Jim. He was a past ballroom dance student of ours at our home studio for several years. He became a dear friend. He was a great guy and we will miss him and his great personality. Always upbeat and positive. We saw him often at his job at Lowes and were so happy when he met and married the love of his life Yvonne.

What a wonderful childhood we had with our families sharing so many holidays together, so many "made-up holidays", family reunions, and your trips to Grandma and Grandpa's. Carla and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Celebrate his love of life, celebrate his love of family, But, don't celebrate his love for the Packers!! Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing grief and sorrow in our lives. Please watch over and comfort the Sharp family and friends at the loss of Jim as we grieve his loss.

My heart felt condolences to Dave and Martha, Janet and Sally at the sudden loss of Jim. I will always have fond memories of our childhood friendship and the best neighbors on the street. Your family has been woven into our lives for many years, your mom’s friendship was invaluable when my mom was sick, our crazy pinochle group with Dave and Martha, and one of my best school friends with Janet. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother and hope you can find comfort during this difficult time. Jim and Cathy Goldschmidt
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Sending my heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family. I went to high school with Jim . We were life guards together at Robinson Lake. Jim always had a smile on his face. He use to entertain us, with his amazing pirouettes in the sand! So many great memories.
