Amanda David: I will miss all the great times I spent with Mr. VanDamme! He was always so generous and caring to me. He would take me out to dinner with him and his family and insist that i order a good meal! Mr. VanDamme would always ask about my family, my work, and my school and He would always give me a hug and a kiss as soon as he saw me. And the one thing I will miss the most about him is his super ridiculous funny jokes!! Not many people liked his jokes as much as I did but I will never forget how much the made me laugh! : ) He was an amazing, supportive, funny :), caring and loving father and husband, and he will truly be missed!!!

agnes bernacka: Mr.Jim-You were such a great dad to Deanna. You truly raised a wonderful and beautiful daughter and I'm proud to call her one of the best friends! You were also a awesome husband to Mrs. Marie. I'll miss your jokes and your laugh. Don't worry us girls will take good care of your girls!! -Agnes '

Devon West: Deanna,
Your dad was a special man who loved you very much. Mr. Jim always treated me like family, he never missed an event or special occasion and he was always there looking so proud of you and us girls. You are lucky to have had a dad like Mr. Jim and to have a mom like Miss Marie, and I am lucky to know you and have you all as my friends. I'm happy to reminisce on the many memories and adventures I had with you and your family through the last 10 years. I love you and I loved your dad very much, he will always be with me.

Pat and Dave Goodison: Marie and Deanna,
Thinking of Jim and the good times all of us had together brings a smile to my face. I am so sorry for your loss and want you to know we think of you often. Jim will stay in our hearts!

Becky Duda: Mr. Jim- Words cant describe what a wonderful husband you were to Mrs. Marie and a outstanding father you were to one of my best friends. All I have are amazing memories of you. One of the last memories I have is you sitting in "your chair", with the rolled up newspaper in hand, yelling at Sammie to settle down! Oh yeah and we were all sitting there watching the Bachelor, you were yelling at the TV for Jake NOT to pick Vienna! Mr. Jim will will be missed by ALL!!! REST IN PEACE!
