Anyone that knew Jim Majernik heard a few things.  He loved to give you a nickname, tell you (No need) for materiel objects and extra spending and inform you on his current political excitements. He was a member of Saints Peter and Paul Church. He especially enjoyed Sunday morning 7am Mass at St. Paul Monetary which was right across the street from the farm.  Anybody that had a spare moment with Jim felt as if they were part of his family because of his incredibly generous and kind nature.  A resourceful man, Jim was known as the hardest working person around with an incomparable work ethic.

He adored preparing salads, cheese, crackers and his homemade wine especially on Sundays.  Jim was fond of handing out his excess garden produce.  At the end of the day, he would never forget to button up everything and say his good nights.
