Cherrie Heidemann-Oglesby wrote a sympathy message

“Although I didn't know Jim at JHHS, I wanted to express my condolences to his family as I was also in his Class of 1971. I hope his daughters will enjoy having these pictures I pulled from our yearbook. RIP, Jim. Sincerely, Cherrie Kolben Heidemann-Oglesby”
