my prayers are with you, Wanda and the family. Jim will be missed by many but know he is at peace now.
I love you, Grampa Jim. Thank you for all of the lessons and love. Oooha.
Wanda and Families, My Dears you have been facing some rough times as that fine Husband, Dad, and Grandpa left this earth. We know the loss of Jim is hard to think about coping with, but the release from pain is his. Just think Jim and Kent are exchanging stories from their great store of stories (never knew anybody like those two for stories) in their deep resonant voices regaling all around them. Love to all of you my Dear cousins. Sharon and Bill Smelser

Prayers to Wanda and family. Truly enjoyed visiting always. He will be missed
Wanda and family, we were so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I was just telling our family recently about some of the fun times we had at the Haldorson farm when we were kids. And, the fun times we had as couples after we married. I will cherish those memories even more, now.
Wanda – So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. You and I graduated from Central in 1960. I lived in Hackensack from 1995 to 2011 and I used to see you and Jim at Mark’s Market where I worked as a cashier I live in Moorhead, MN now in Eventide Retirement apts. My husband Frank passed away in May 2016. In the future if you would like to get together for coffee, my phone number is 218-227-5451. Jayne Tweiten Bancroft
Jim and I grew up in Dickinson, ND and I think I met him in Cub Scouts. Later we both moved to Fargo and graduated with the Class of 59. Jim did some technical writing for Honeywell while I was an engineer there. Sorry to say we lost touch as adults. I remember Jim as a very intelligent man. May the Lord be with Jim and his family and friends.
Jim was an amazing, funny, brilliant, loving, artistic, creative and one most of all, one of the kindest man I have ever known. Jim and Wanda have given so much, expecting nothing in return. Jim has a way of teaching us how to laugh at ourselves. He was like a father to me, and a grandparent to my children. I am truly blessed to have had him in my life and the life of my kids. My guess is that Jim has made it to Heaven already and is making salsa, and looking for just the right place for his noodle room. What a gift you have been Jim Weiser, what a gift! I love you and will miss you so very much. Love and Prayers, Laurie-oh
Our deepest sympathy, Wanda, and family. Jim was so easy to visit with.. Loved listening to stories.. Our love and prayers to all of you.
Jim and graduated Fargo Central in 1959. Over the years I lost contact with Jim and I am so sad to hear that he is gone. I remember Jim as a very bright and insightful person. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Jim.
Another classmate gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Wanda,
so sorry to hear about Jim, my heart goes out to you and your family.
It seems only yesterday when we were in Fargo with Jim playing his guitar and trying to get me to sing.
It’s been a tough year for the Weisers and we send our love and prayers

Wanda, I’m so sorry for your loss! I wasn’t on FB for a while, and when I got back on I noticed I hadn’t seen any posts from you. Then I found this link. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’ll never forget the many conversations I had with Jim. He was a wonderful man..{{{HUGS}}}. Please stay in touch!
