Jim was always kind and full of positivity. He never met a stranger and treated everyone with kindness and compassion. He will be greatly missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.
The Sliefert family has many fond memories of Jim, starting back when he coached soccer at St Bernadet to coaching Aaron and Kurt in hockey starting when they were very young through High School with Jim ( Sliefert), he was a great role model both on and off the ice , Love and prayers to family
My thoughts and prayers to you for the loss of your Dad. May your heart be filled with all the memories and bring you peace.
Toughest guy I ever met. And the best. RIP Jimmy.
Jim was not only an angel to me but my best friend. He was one of the best men I have ever met. He was kind, caring, loving and we helped each other thru so much through many years!! He was strong and fought hard!! We tried to keep each other positive and solid. I will forever cherish the memories and am praying for his family for comfort and healing. I am so sorry for your loss
Jimmy was the man we should all aspire to be. I hope to be just a portion of the man he was. RIP my friend
I’m vey saddened to find out about Jim passing. I knew Jim for many years and he was such a friendly guy. He was always so nice and even though I knew that he had been fighting a battle for many years he never complained. My thoughts are with his son and daughter who I know were the main focus of his life. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Carie’s,
I was a friend of both your father and mother at St. Louis University. They were both wonderful people! So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. He was a wonderful person and a terrific father and husband. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
