James (Jim) G. Rhyner, on Monday, October 14,2024, went to Heaven to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Jim married his wife Vicky on June 30, 1978.

Jim used to laugh but loved it when Vicky would say “Nothing could be finer then being married to Jimmy Rhyner”

Vicky had 4 boys who Jim raised as his own. He was strict but the boys always knew he loved them and was always there for them.

His parents were Gorden and Evelyn Rhyner and he also had foster parents Rev. Paul & Marion Bischoff who he loved dearly. They are all in heaven with him now.
