Jim was always a welcome addition to the Mauk gatherings at various restaurants in Antigo. He was an interesting man with interesting ideas. I wish I'd spent more time plumbing that brain of his for more of his thoughts and beliefs - God bless you, Jim.

My sympathy to Jim's family. I had the pleasure of knowing him when he would come to visit his brother Bill at Pine Meadow. He was a very nice man and I know heaven received another angel.
God Bless - Ann Majewski Pine Meadow

I was a volunteer at Eastview along with Jim. Due to health, Jim had to give it up, but he would stop by from time to time. He was the nicest man you ever wanted to meet and went to every table to greet every resident. He will be missed very much.
