Hello my name is Jonni Roche Fargo from Atlantic City Wyoming. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Jim as he & his family were very good to me growing up. Jim was fun and one night Holly & I were getting ready to go to bed & we got under the sheets & there were cracker crumbs spread all over the bed. We laughed so hard & then we took all of the crackers & threw them on him it was a fun night. I loved going for helicopter rides & riding motorcycles through the Wyoming Wilderness. We'd go to the rivers & creeks & Holly sang & played guitar. Tarena was so sweet & Bowe was friends with my brother Tim. Jim was such a kind man with the best sense of humor. Kindly, Jonni
(Marc and Heidi) We were truly blessed to have met Jim years ago when we purchased a lot from him. From that day on he took us on the adventure of a lifetime. From the start he talked us into buying a utv, and soon after we were traveling out west with Jim and Kim to explore the mountains and the most beautiful countryside that we had ever seen. As well as introducing us to some wonderful people that we share these memories with. We will cherish every moment we spent with Jim, from working together, going to auctions, sales, concerts, and many other weekend adventures. Also our short utv racing career, ( Team Old Man and the Mexican). And most of all the times we shared just sitting on the porch, enjoying the outdoors and beautiful sunsets. Without a doubt I know he changed the life of every person he met. I know he changed ours. And for that I am truly grateful and blessed to have called Jim a great friend. We love you my friend and I thank you for all the memories. Till we meet for our next adventure. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kim and the Tomash family.
Jim was a big hearted force in his family and to anyone who met him as well. He enjoyed a good laugh for sure! I screamed in fear if he took me for a ride up on the runway on his Jagged X. Shortly I was laughing along with him. Folks nearby shared a laugh as I was stuck in the Outhouse in fear of the bear scraping the walls outside. Of course, it was Jim yelling and carrying on! Thank you dear Jim for the love and laughter and for the wonderful life adventure you and Kim shared. My love and sympathy is with my sister Kim and all the Tomash family and friends who share the loss of the hardest working man I have known. I hope God loves flying high with you and your chopper in Heaven! Sharon Delaney
While we knew Jim only a short time, we recognized from the moment we met him that he was special. Shaping is around Lot 7 and giving us the grand tour of Oaks Road. Made us feel at home right away! RIP Jim. Kim, the Delpesce's are thinking of you.
Thank you, Jim Tomash, for the wonderful memories you help create when we stayed with you and Kim in Montana and Iowa. We still talk about our adventures in the mountains, the burgers cooked on the open fires and all the fun we had with you. Our hearts and love are with Kim and your family as they adjust to life with out you. Rest in peace our brother.
Such wonderful neighbors, Jim was always there if he knew we needed anything. Plowing out our driveway when our tractor was out of commission, he came to our rescue in burying our beloved dog "Jiggs" and many other times. He and Kim were the best ! Our sons came from Texas and were always welcomed to fish in their lake, they made a special effort to let the boys know to come on down and cast in their fishing line anytime they wanted to. Always hosted a 4th of July Fireworks Celebration on their run way and wood cutting get togethers with neighbors, wonderful pot luck meal following. They are the best neighbors ever, Jim will be greatly missed! God Bless.
I want to thank Jim for introducing my family to the mountains ! It gave me and my family many many exciting times . When Spending time with Jim in Wyoming and Montana you could always count on having a unbelievable time!
It's been a blessing to have Jim and Kim as neighbors. If we needed a vehicle pulled out of a ditch, snow plowed out of the drive, or even a beloved dog buried in the dead of winter we could count on them. Jim will be missed by all of us on the Oaks Road.
