Cris & Family. We are so sorry for your loss
Cris : I’m sorry to hear of your families loss.
Cris : I’m sorry to hear of your families loss. Keep his memories with you.
We are very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry about the loss of your uncle. Lots of prayers go out to you and your family.
Jim was a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. I did not know him as well as I knew his brother Jack because Jim’s career in banking caused him to move to Pittsburgh. But I still knew him pretty well. He had truly great laugh and the ability to make others laugh. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew him.
I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing.
Our Class of 1959 were so happy to see him at our last reunion.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one.

My deepest sympathy to all for the loss of Jim. I had spent many of days with him at the Buxton camp trading stories and playing cards. I feel honored to been given the chance to know him.
My sincere condolences to Jim’s family. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but after reading his obituary I am sorry to have missed that experience.
You have my prayers. I don’t know you but know your name. I was googling my father who worked for the VA for 40 years in KCMO. His name is also James loutzenhiser, so you will meet another James Loutzenhiser in Heaven. I am his daughter sending Aloha from Hawai’i.
