My sincere sympathy to the entire Waschow family on the loss of my good friend Jim. He was always laughing, joking, wise-cracking but he was also smart, sincere and charming. He was such fun to be around, the Life of the party. Nearly 30 years ago, Stan & I met Jim and Lois at the bowling alley, teamed up and instantly became friends. We spent countless hours vacationing together, at dinners, parties and just hanging out over the years. It was equally sad to lose his life partner and wife, Lois, and my dear friend only a short time ago. I will treasure those memories we made together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family at this sad time.

I was just going through all the picture albums and all the fun stuff we did as families from 1950s. You and Lois were a huge part of all the good memories of living in Edison Park and vacations in Mining, Wisconsin with the kids. You will be missed
