Deepest sympathy to the Fauver family.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Jim. He was a special and kind man. May God hold him in His loving arms and be with his entire family during this time of grief.
Jim was a very good friend of mine & my family over the years as a business man, also as County Treasurer. My deepest sympathy to the family.
Jim graduated with my brother’s class of ’57 at Wymore. They were very close friends so I got to know Jim very well. The two of them were very active in having good times. Jim was a kind and thoughtful man and I enjoyed being with him – when I was allowed because there was no coming between Jim and my brother Ron.
So sorry for your loss. I knew Jim through the Nebraska Treasurer’s. He will be missed.
