We sailed the Great lakes together in races, the Carribean for fun and were becalmed on Lake Dillon in Colorado. We lived close in Ohio and only a Driver and 3 iron apart in Colorado. We all were happy to be together and sorely missed Jim when he moved to Florida. Happy Sailing Jim !! Jean & George Hannes, Dave Hannes, Linda Urbanski & Cindy Capen

Mary and Family: We never know from what lingering sufferings, from what bitter grief, from what impending disaster--spiritual or temporal--God has taken our dear ones. He knows best, and has a sufficient reason, and will explain it to us clearly some day. Meanwhile He who wounds can heal, He who takes will himself fill the vacant place. And He will keep that which we have committed to him, and give it back to us restored to perfect health and beauty. By F. B. Meyer, D.D. Earth has one angel less: and Heaven one more, since yesterday. May God keep you and your family in His tender loving care. Love, Al and Wanda

Upon meeting Jim Yonk for the first time it was apparent that he was one of those rare individuals that you don't often have a chance to share your life with. Jim was one of the most refined, and warm gentlemen we have ever known. Jim was also, highly educated, artistic, and generous. We feel most fortunate to have been able to have known someone as wonderful as Jim Yonk. Our thoughts, and payers are with you always. With love, Burt & Judy

The loss of a husband like Jim Yonk is a very great loss indeed. Although we were privileged to be in Jim's company only a handful of times, we were very greatly impressed with his friendly, kind and courteous manner. We know he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. We pray that the Lord will bring you peace and comfort.
