James “Jim” L. Sharpe

We are so sorry for your loss. Jim was such a kind hearted genuine man. When he saw you and said he was glad to see you, you always knew he truly was. He will be greatly missed, but, I hope you find peace knowing he is singing with choir of angels, in heaven with the Lord, he loved so much. Our prayers and thought are with you.

Lori we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Jim was such a nice guy and I always enjoyed playing golf with him. He was a fun guy to be around. He will be missed..

Lori & Family
We share in your loss and wish we could be there with you all and share our thoughts in person.

Jim will be missed dearly. I am very proud to be his brother and he has always set a great example of how to live a good life. The true testament of this is his beautiful family that he leaves. We all have fond memories of Jim which brings a smile to my face and I know he is smiling on all of us right now.

God Bless you

Vickie & Mike

We are saddened to hear, please know we are only a call away should you need us. Dawn and Tony we love you as neighbors.

Lori and Family,
Please know that everyone is in our prayers and thoughts!
With all our Love.
John Wehlage and Family

Spending summer breaks and Thanksgiving at Uncle Jim and Aunt Lori’s house are some of the best memories. He will truly be missed. We are so sorry for your loss. We love you all and are sending hugs.
Love,
Monica, Tom, Eddie, Tony, and Angie

Uncle Jim was such a gift and he left us with a legacy of lessons of what is important in life – faith, family and friends. Those of us who were so blessed to have him in our lives were also gifted with his generosity, wisdom, loyalty, protection, sense of humor and fierce debating skills. He simply was one of the very best. He always knew what to say and equally his actions spoke a thousand words – his nodding of his head when he laughed, his shaking no when he disagreed right before the debate would commence, his side glances and other looks, and most of all his warm and sincere hugs and silent encouragement. We are so sorry for the Sharpe family’s loss and love you all so much, but we hope you each find comfort in all of the wonderful memories that will live in our hearts and minds forever as we fondly remember Uncle Jim (and also remember he is warming up the party in heaven for the rest of us with our other angels who were called home before him:) ).

Sending virtual hugs and looking forward to celebrating Uncle Jim soon,
Megan and Jon

For almost 50 years I have had the honor of calling Jim my brother in law. Brother in law in name only, but a brother in my heart. I don’t remember too many years of my life when Jim was not a part of it. Jim’s family values and devout faith shaped the man he was- loving husband & father, doting grandfather, awesome brother in law, and incredible friend.
He & Lori always opened their hearts and home to anyone who wanted to stop by and visit, and always made everyone feel welcome. Even on those crazy Thanksgivings when the whole Wehlage clan descended on them in mass! The memories of all the good times we had together will never be forgotten. Laughter, tears, debates, more laughter, more debates…all memories we will keep in our hearts forever.
Your cancer journey was a long one, and lived out with such dignity and grace for so many years. May you rest in peace in your heavenly home, in the company of all our loved ones who have been called home before you.
My unending love and deep condolences for my sister Lori, their children Jim, Dawn, Anne and their families. Know that I love you and am grieving with you even though I can’t physically be with you for this most difficult time in your lives. May God’s love wrap you in peace and comfort. May all the fond memories of your life together always be greater than your sorrow.
Love, Mary

Lori,
Tim and I are so saddened by Jim’s passing. We still remember all the great times we had together as couples before we got married. Great memories.
Hoping you will find some peace as you go through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Tim and Laura

We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss seeing Jim’s smiling face in church. May he Rest In Peace & Enjoy eternal life in Heaven. You are all in our thoughts & Prayers. Sending Love, The Gangwish & Hennigen Families

It seems hard to remember a time when Jim was not around and with the family. High school – such a long time ago. So many memories!! Outings, trips, card playing, weddings and so much more including some great debates. He will be missed.
We are so sorry for your loss and know that we love all of you and grieve with you.
Love, Sue and Jeff

Our heart goes out to each of during these times! Prayers and hugs for all! Mike and Amanda Dages

Words cannot express how much we will miss Uncle Jim. He was one of our favorite uncles that we always looked forward to seeing at the Sharpe family reunions. He was one of the smartest, funniest, hardworking, and kindest people we know, and we were lucky to have him as an uncle. We loved hearing stories about him and Lori and our parents in their early years. We’re so happy that Jim was able to spend his last years enjoying life and living it to the fullest while maximizing his time not only with his immediate family but with his siblings and extended relatives as well, and we know that he spent his last days happier than ever as he was surrounded by the people he loved more than anything. We will always love and remember Jim and will keep his memory alive. We love you guys so much. Love, Donna and Diana Defino (and Marc Ruby)

Lori
We were so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing, so encouraged to read of his strong faith. May God give you and your family peace and the consolation of knowing he is waiting for you where there will be no more tears. All of you remain in our prayers. Mary and John Bochek

It was really great to spend some quality time with Jim last fall. We were able to play some golf, catch up on family updates, reminisce about the good ol’ days, and argue about politics. And Lori was able to say over and over again, “Stop talking politics!”

Jim you will be dearly missed, but you will be with us always in the fondest of memories.
Much love, (from your other best looking sister)
Babe ❤️

Of all the many blessings however great or small to have Uncle Jim was the greatest one of all. We know you are at peace and your memories will be in our hearts forever.

Aunt Lori, Jim, Dawn, Anne and all,
We wish we could be there but know we have you in our prayers and thinking of you all everyday. Sending you our love, hugs and our deepest sympathy. Love you so much!! Xxxxoooo

Jim was always loving, caring, helpful and supportive to everyone.

But did you know that Jim almost bit his tongue in half when he was 4 yrs. old, climbing on the toilet!
My Mom was torn as what to do – take him to hospital or beat his behind!

I will miss you dearly Jim!
Love your best looking sister, Anne❤️

May your wonderful memories of Jim bring you comfort during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you
Mart & Cheryl Erickson

We are praying for all of you and hope you will find peace and comfort through this time.

Jim….Mr. Sharpe….was a great, great man whom we will never forget. I loved seeing his smiling face when he would go by our house on the golf course, and when he would sit in church proudly listening to Dawn, Emily, or Hannah sing. And, John loved getting an opportunity to work for Jim and Lori at their home and will always remember the kindness Jim showed him while he was working on projects.

But….our greatest memory will always be after John nipped the very tip of his finger off and was feeling pretty sorry for himself and his loss. While sitting in church waiting for Mass to start, Jim took a picture of his own hand, texted it to John, and just said something witty like, “Wow. You sure have it rough.” It was EXACTLY what John needed at that moment, and we still laugh when we think about that today.

We are honored to have known him and to call him a friend. May he rest in peace.

Love,
Kat , John, Lainey, Jack, & Hannah Renaker

I’m so sorry for your loss, Jim was a true gentleman, and will be greatly missed.
Praying for Jim and the whole family.
Grant him eternal rest O Lord.
Jay Buckley

Dear Lori and family
We are so saddened to hear about Jim. You and Jim were the first neighbors to reach out to us when we moved to Kentucky and we had many good memories as neighbors. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and hope that all YOUR wonderful memories will comfort you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Jim is smiling in every picture I have seen of him. I hope you are able to smile and find happiness in the memories he has given you.
