Jim was born August 25, 1948 in Columbus, Nebraska to Emil and Dolores 'Glodowski' Papousek. He was raised in Clarkson and graduated from Clarkson High School in 1966. After high school Jim remained in Clarkson and farmed with his family. While Jim farmed, he also worked several different jobs until he began a long career as a mechanic for Dinkel Implement Company in Scribner. On February 12, 1977 Jim married Carol Morfeld. They moved into Scribner in 1989. Jim continued to work for Dinkel until 2007 then worked for Greg Nabor.

Jim was a member of New Zion Presbyterian Church in Clarkson. He enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, working in the garden, messing around the shed, and giving rides to Emily on the 'Minnow'. Grandkids 'Little Peanut' Emily and 'Smiley Joe' Vinny Jr. were his joy. Jim always had a Hershey bar in his pocket. He also enjoyed listening to Czech Music and playing the accordion.

"Dear Carol and family,
I was surprised to read of Jim's passing. Please know of my support and prayer. I feel so very blessed to have met and shared some very profound conversations with Jim the last couple months our paths crossed at St. Francis. His spirit had a grounding and vibrance that surpassed the human conditions that seemed to swirl around or within him. I have no doubt that that divine spirit is free beyond our imagining and is present with you and will be present to remind you of his love in supportive and surprising ways ( and playful ways too). I am so grateful for the journey we shared! Big hugs!
Sr. Marcia
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord let his light shine upon you. May the Lord look upon you and give you peace and strength! Amen"

"I've heard it said that the measure of one's life is not how much you love but how much you are loved by others. If this be the yardstick, Jim lived an immeasurable life. Thanks for always being a good friend Jim. My deepest condolence to you Carol, Nina, P.J., Tyler and all the family. Love to you all, Faith Evans Reick
