Mr. Fixit –Mr. Honey-Do”

Jim was an avid Harley rider and especially enjoyed sponsoring and joining Veteran and Charity rides. Jim’s involvement and contribution of time and effort he gave to Set Free, Sober projects and Cursillo organizations gave him great pleasure. He inherited excellent mechanical abilities that he shared with many. Jim also loved his last employment as a tow truck driver, which again shows his love of helping people. His kindness, humor and loving heart enriched many lives.
He is survived by his beloved significant other Vicky Wright, mother Ruth Ann Boesch of Campbell CA, two daughters Kalah (Manuel), Jamie and one grandson Zayne, treasured Aunt Jane and Uncle Bill and a CA family friend Cuong Ngo (Aura) as well as numerous other relatives and close friends.
He was preceded in death by his father Gerald, an infant son, brother Kenneth, a wonderful step father John Boesch and his grandparents.

Big Jim was a kind and God filled man. His presence and love of the Lord filled the room and he brought laughter and thoughtful consideration with his one liners! The Good Lord has a special place for him and within the Helena Cursillo/Journey Community his booming voice and deep words of wisdom will not fade.

I will always remember Big Jim and the best time to pray. “Right now!” Jim was good to me, shared his laughter freely and spoke kindly. I was blessed to have known him.

Jim wasnt just my brother, he was one of my best friends, a man of God, and a great inspiration to many in the cursillo community. Especially new cursillistas. I thank God every day for the time I had the priviledge to know Jim. Jim, your message and your story will never end my friend, i promise you that. Cursillo candidates for years to come will continue to know and feel the power of your spirit, the power of god’s word that was and is always a part of you. Rest in peace and know that you are forever loved my friend.
