JAMES (JIMMY) GOTTFRIED

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• Loved, loved, loved my cousin Jimmy. From staying overnight sharing a bed with my brother Bob & cousin Larry in the old farm house because we had been at a family wedding. Jimmy would help me navigate the knee high snow in the morning to get to the old summer kitchen where Aunty Frances & Uncle Mike, my dad Rudy & mom Audrey & cousin Betty were already up & having coffee. The wood stove was stoked & the room was filled with laughter & love. In the Spring, Jimmy would always sit me up high on the pig pen fence when the sow had her babies & make sure I wouldn’t fall in. - Posted by: Nancy Gacek (Melnyk) & husband Richard Gacek (Cousin) on: Jul 17, 2025

• Sending our deepest condolences to Michael, David, Clinton and families. Your dad was a true gem and will never forget the visits on College Ave. Your mom and dad would just drop in for a visit and the laughs we shared and stories that were told. All the times on the farm with snowmobiling and Boxing days. Those were the days!! Will cherish all those memories and more. Love to you all and will keep you all in our hearts today and the days ahead as you process the sudden passing and navigate forward without Uncle Jim. Love ya. Take care. xoxox - Posted by: Karen(Klyzub) and Len Nemetchek (Cousin) on: Feb 10, 2025
