Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Judy, Jeff, Jerod, Josie I am sorry for your loss.
Jerod, I am sorry to hear about the recent loss of your father. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
To Judy & Family, We were deeply shocked and saddened when we heard about Jim. So sorry. His warm smile and friendly handshake at SVdP Church will be greatly missed.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Jim’s passing. Among other fine traits, Jim was ‘old school’, with every deal guided by common sense and closed with a hand shake. For those of us who still aspire to that way of doing business, Jim will live on as our inspiration. Count on it. Me and my family will remember Jim, you, and your family in thought and in prayer.
To the Heiman family, we are saddened to learn of your loss. May God be with you and bring you peace during this most difficult time. Our prayers are with your family.

To the Heiman family, I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. I traded grain with Jim for over 20 years and could have never asked for a better person to do business with. He was also a gentleman away from the office and I am proud to say I had the opportunity to know Jim for all of those years. I know he will be missed.
Judy and family—-Our prayers, sympathy and love are with you all—we had been gone for a while and when we got home last night, I had messages about Jim—-what a shock—will talk to you later–
