The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

To The Eagle:

While I knew Jim Bjorge was in the hospital in a serious health condition, I am shocked and saddened to learn of his death. Jim was a great neighbor and I would like to have had him considered me more than just an acquaintance. It was always good to talk with Jim. Jim represented to me what is a solid citizen and upon which a community is built, thrives and remain stable. We need more Jims! We might all think we know hard work, but Jim exemplified this quality. As a builder, he was sought by many and all his work was appreciated; it represents quality, like him. He frequently spoke of his family and most proud of his daughter who is a teacher. Jim was too young, too energetic, too generous, too much fun to talk with and just too good a wonderful human being to leave us so soon. He will be missed, but his spirit is appreciated and will be frequently remembered.
