Our prayers go out to you, Isolde, and your family. Jim was a good man, husband, and father. It was a pleasure working with him at Fishers. Jon & Michele Whitesell

To Jim's family, I am very sorry for your loss. Your obituary did not refer to it but Jim also served as Scoutmaster for Troop 308 for a few years in the late 60' for the Knights of Columbus. I was a scout in that troop and have many fond memories of "Mr. Deninger" taking the troop on camp outs, which often included fishing but one I remember included camping outside at 10 degrees. I know we exchanged a few snowballs that time. I think this is before he may have had kids as they were not in the troop then. I truly appreciate his dedication to young scouts. He was a positive force in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Jim at Fisher Controls. He became my supervisor and later, when I became a supervisor Jim was my manager. Jim was always fair and honest with me and I learned much from the interactions with Jim! I believe Jim learned a lot from his duties at Fisher and also from his time as a Marshalltown city councilman, which made both jobs easier to handle!

Jim was a good man to know and I'm sure he will be missed by the many that knew him!

To Jim's family; I send my condolences and pray you find peace during this difficult time! I am sure you have many cherished memories of Jim!

Our deepest sympathies to Isolde, Mike, Bill, Paul and families for your loss. Jim and you 4 were among the best next-door neighbors we have had. Whenever I wanted to know what was happening with our city government, I would run over and have a conversation with Jim. May Jim rest in peace, and may our good Lord help you through this time of deep sorrow.

Almost all of the years I was Mayor of Marshalltown, Jim was on the council . He was always on my side. He was always positive. We did many projects to better Marshalltown. I could always count on Jim. He was an unsung hero of Marshalltown. Sorry he's gone, but at least he is no longer suffering. We lost a great citizen.
