I’m so sorry for your family’s loss…Jim was always so nice to me, Jeff and the boys – he’ll be missed
Sorry about the loss of Uncle Jim. Thinking about the Koechling family at these hard times. I have good memories of Jim and Jeanne coming to northern Wisconsin with Millie-Ralph and us with our children , also visiting them at their lake house in Missouri-had a great times. Such fun people will surely be missed.
Jim Koechling: Kind, Smart, funny, honest. Our trips to St. Louis to visit Uncle Jim and Aunt Jean as a young child were very entertaining. Jim had a way of speaking that made you sit up and listen. He was very proud of his military service, and liked to walk in parades to honor his comrades. I’m sure he is very happy now, joining other family members in the non-phisical. Thanks Jim!
I met Jim Koechling in 1979 while working at St. Paul Insurance Company. I kept in touch with him over the years. He was a kind, gentle soul. I was blessed to know him. I wish the family Happy Memories.
