Jim made many friends throughout the walk of his life. After graduating from Pulaski HS he joined the Army at age 17 and after three years (of mostly playing baseball on the Base Team) worked at Allen-Bradley. Along with his wife he was the proud owner of Sierszyn’s Log Cabin where you could find him behind the bar for nearly 19 years. It was natural then that after “retiring” he served as an usher in both stadiums for the Milwaukee Brewers where for years he welcomed fans to Section 121-122. He was also a longtime member of Milwaukee Lake Lion’s Club.
Still owe big JIM a bar stool,feel so bad
So many memories of your dad. He is back with your mom now. Our memories will keep us all going until we are together again. Heaven just took back a very special angel!

Such a great, funny, caring man. The world lost another great one!! ❤️
I have fond memories of your dad! Not only at Log Cabin but also at the Miller stadium! My prayers and thoughts go out to his children and his grand children! Jim left you with some wonderful memories these are your treasures to remember him by let the memories help you through the days ahead! He was a wonderful story story teller and caring individual ! He is at peace!
My very first paid job was stocking coolers at the Log Cabin most Saturday mornings. We were then promoted to flipping burgers, making fries and plating, right along side your grandmother and mom. When we weren’t doing that, we were playing Pong! Blessings to Jay, Jim’r and Juli.
I really enjoyed watching the video, you did a good job of honoring a great man and his fully blessed life. Thank you.
I have so many great memories of your Dad and the family growing up. He will be missed and may your personal memories keep you close to your Dad until you are reunited once again.
RIP Mr. Sierszyn, God Bless.
Nothing but wonderful memories of both Mr. & Mrs. Sierszyn. They were like a second family to me. The Log Cabin. Grandma making steak & cheese. I can still hear him saying, “I could give a rat’s *ss!” We’ll miss you!!
What a wonderful tribute to your dad! Uncle Jim holds a special place in my heart. Sending my sympathy to you Jay, Jim’r, Juli and family. Hoping he and my dad have found eachother, perhaps on a bar stool in Heaven! Thinking of you all and will miss him dearly. xoxo
