One of the great ones – you will be missed. A laugh and smile that always lit up the room and reminded everyone not to take life to seriously. Grateful you were part of my State Farm world and my life Jimmy Haag. God Bless you and your family.
Jimmy, your laugh and charismatic personality will be severely missed by the State Farm Community! You always had great advice and made everyone feel included and part of the gang! Our thoughts are with you and yours at this transition! We all gained another guardian angel!
Orie was one of a kind as a classmate, friend, and co-worker. He had the respect of laypeople and clergy alike in some challenging circumstances. We “solved a lot of problems” for WELS world missions late at night. Praise the Lord for his example of faith and love! Grace and peace to all the family who mourn his loss. We’re strangers here, heaven is our home!
I’m proud to say Jim was both a mentor and a friend. Never did I see him without a smile and a friendly “Fab!” greeting. Simply put, Jim always made those around him better and happy….he will be greatly missed.
Will missyou, Orie. Our love to your family as you await your reunion in heaven.
Jim may you rest in peace, as we are all are here by God grace, and when our Journey in complete here we move on. Jim you were an extraordinary human being and its has been pleasure to have known you.. Lots of laugh and joy you brought to our State Farm Family, Yow surely will be miss. Praying for healing at this time for your family.
Jim was loved by those who knew him, now he is with the one who loved him most — his Savior, Jesus..
Coach Häagen-Dazs, as I used to.call him in grade school. He was a phenomenal leader and a role model. Condolences to Brian, and Coach’s whole family.
I will forever remember his famous response if you ever asked him “how are your?” “FABULOUS”, and that he was! So blessed to have known him not just as a fellow State Farm Agent, but as a friend. Our ADP group was always more fun, more educational, more positive and definitely more musical with Jimmy there. I don’t think there was a song he didn’t know. He will be missed by the family who loved him and whom he loved so very much and all his friends. May Jesus hold each of you in His strong arms until Mr. Fab does so once again.
Jim had a magnetic personality. He was fun to be around; caring, loving, and always smiling! He was never afraid to share his faith in Jesus and I believe that’s why those qualities came so easy to him. I played college baseball with his son Chris and through sheepshead games got to know his son Brian well. So thankful for all of those friendships. What a gang of good folks….Jim!! Yes, with Jim your name would always be at the end of an emphatic statement with an explanation point like no other.
Jim recruited me to play for the Muskego Impact baseball team, was my State Farm agent for many years, bought advertising through me for the Muskego Chamber of Commerce publications and always a trusted confidant!
Funniest memory ever was goose hunting and him and his brother Gene trying to fix a four wheeler. It’s a PG story ….but hopefully Chris and Brian start laughing when they read this.
Rest fabulously my friend in the arms of Jesus!
Jim was always a positive light and presence. Thank you Jim for always making me smile. I pray he continues to be fab in heaven. Praying God’s comfort to the family during this time.
Kathie and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God keep you strong through this difficult time.
Every week 29 in Minocqua we would see Jim who we referred to him as Prince Craft Jim. You will be missed always looked forward to catching up….RIP buddy
