I just found out about Jim's death, and I am in complete shock. I have so many wonderful memories of Jim from high school. He was such a great friend, and a great guy, who always made me laugh. I have such fond memories of him. He was so much fun to hang out with. I am glad that I knew him, and I know that he is in a better place now. He is making many people laugh in heaven.

Joni, I was saddened to hear of your loss and can not imagine how you are feeling. I will miss a great wave from a nice neighbor/a great son as I pass by and when the moments of grieving change to the work of mourning I hope I will see the little red car with it's driver waving her way off for coffee or walking with a friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we wish you great strength for the journey ahead.

Dear Joni- This is an excerpt from a much longer collection of memories I am writing to you.
My favorite memory of Jim is when I went to see him in Florida. Shawn and I were going to Tampa, for a trade show for Shawn’s work. So I called up Jim, and we planned our visit. Our first day in Florida the weather was nice, and Jim took us to a beach. I found these little shells I loved, so Jim and Shawn walked up and down the beach w/ me, picking up this particular little shell. I still have them today. We took a photo of the three of us, and I was beaming, as I felt so happy, surrounded by two wonderful men, and walking along the beach, w/ them helping me find my little shells. The trade show was not so interesting to me, so most days Shawn stayed in Tampa at the show, and I drove across that beautiful strip of land/bridge over to where Jim lived. We went to lunch, visited book stores, and I even dragged him to a touring Anne Frank exhibit. I was so pleased he was willing to go with me, since not everyone willingly goes to a museum to see room after room of World War II Holocaust pictures and memorabilia.
Jim was one of a kind, and I will miss him greatly.
Joni- you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lots of love to you-
Melissa and Shawn

We never knew when Jim would pull up in our drive way on his bike, spend some time talking, and then be off again. He was always smiling and full of cheer. We will miss his visits. Our son, Ian shared with us, Jim recently spent some time with him talking about his ‘64 Falcon and Jim shared with him how much he like it. It really made an impression on Ian. Jim will be missed!! Joni our thoughts and prayers are with you. – Karl, LaDonna & Ian

I just met Jim a few times, but he certainly made a lasting impression with his frustrated intelligence, critical curiosity and sharp and funny mouth. Jim had the exhausting but interesting gift that he by principle refused to accept conventional wisdom at face value, and could be obsessed with getting to the bottom of an issue. But always hugely entertaining. Eager to share his views and thoughts, he was also an attentive listener, with an unusually open mind to alternative views - any viewpoint that was fresh and new caught his attention. A big heart has stopped beating way too soon, and my thoughts and hugs go to Joni - the most inspiring Mom a child could ever have! Harald

Lots of "remember the time..." thoughts have come to our minds over the last week. It is hard to come to terms with the loss of Jim, someone we had fun with every time we saw each other. Knowing that memories of great humor, intelligent and thought provoking conversation and simple friendship shapes who we all are as people, helps to ease the loss. Joni, please be comforted by the fact that Jim's character is good and all who knew him are better for the time spent as his friends. ~Jeff & Courtney

Jim was a great person that brought a lot of joy and fun into my life whenever he visited.
Jim was notorious at the office for popping in and dumping gigabytes of music on my laptop. I will continue to enjoy it for years to come.
I will miss Jim's life commentaries and reflections of people.
I will miss Jim.
I hope to see you soon to talk Joni.

A generalized post of reflection: To the infamous duo of Jim & Joni!
As a child I grew up with Joni being that cool second grandma up the street; and whenever I would go over there you would always see that son of hers sitting on the couch with a big grin. You start to notice he was watching TV without sound. When someone would as “AYY Jim! Why’s the sounds off?”…. He then began to say/act what the people on the show. It may sound lame to most people, but when I was younger, I thought this was absolutely the most hilarious thing I had ever laid eyes on. I would always want to be at Joni and Jim’s to simply sit and watch the television without sound. Or of course lunch dates at Apollos! These memories are ones stick out the most with me creating the lasting impression Jim Schlarb made on my life. Everyone he was around enjoyed his company. One could plainly see the love you two had for each other, the companionship and the overall caring attitude the two of you had towards one and other. The kind of love that most parents yearn to have with their children! To conclude i say, Rest In Peace Jimmy! You’ll never be forgotten.. And Joni keep your head held high, and remember tomorrow is always a brighter day! Love you. See you soon!!

Joanie, We were so sorry to hear about Jim. We could tell he was your life and love. His kindness and willingness to help others,, such as the food bank, were one of his greatest qualities.
We only got to know him a short while but I could see how the two of you connected.
Our love and thought are with you.

It is with deepest sympathy to you and your family that I write. It seems like yesterday that I saw you two shopping at Safeway and about town.
I remember coming to your house with my sister Natalie and Dan and Jim and them hanging out. Jim always had a great laugh and a great smile.....
I know he is in Heaven watching over you and he is now a guardain Angel. He is a great angel I am sure. May God hold you in this time of mourning and may peace be with you soon......
JIm was a happy person and his spirit will be missed and remembered... he loved others, he cared and that is a great thing!

I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. Like so many others who grew up in West Olympia my childhood memories (at least crazy ones) include Jim. Jim’s house was the fun house to hang out at. I remember when we filled his Mazda completely full with beer cans (empty) and parked it in the middle of the hallway at Capital High. Legend has it.. if you put a empty beer can up to your ear you can still hear Jim yelling “Joni”! Thank you for the wonderful memories you have left us with Jim.
The world has lost a very special person.

It broke my heart to hear the news about Jim. He was the closest thing to a brother the Casey girls will ever have and he will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. There never was a more interesting person to discuss the world, the meaning of life or any book with. He was so passionate, so elequent, so hysterically funny! He always made me think, wonder, question. Jim didn't just accept the world as it was- he never believed blindly in what he was told, he wanted to discover the truth on his own. Jim really listened too. In a way most people don't. He had time to just be with you and was present in any situation. You never got the feeling that he was impatient or ready to rush off, he was really there. He was curious and open for new ideas and thoughts. Such a real, sweet, tender man. We'll all miss you Jim.
