Condolences to Craig and the entire Kobza family as another chapter closes on Duck Lake. I spent many summers with Craig rummaging through the old Resort, walking are dogs in the woods, sailing, skiing, and running with the Whitehall HS Cross Country team - cherished memories of 'endless summers', simpler times, and a bygone era.

My friend and most honorable Teacher, Jim Kobza, enriched my life in ways that I could never repay. He educated and gave me a career after high school. He was a hard task master with an enormous heart and I fell in love with his brilliant mind. He served not only me but other members of my family with free advice and legal help when needed. I was blessed that he chose me to work in his office for 16 years. When I decided to spread my wings with other employment he blessed me again with the knowledge that he would always be there if I ever needed his counsel. This is just a small testament of the kind of man he was. My heart is heavy with the loss of this remarkable man, but I know the good Lord is beaming at all he has achieved in this world in His name.
To Sue and the rest of the Kobza family, you have my deepest sympathy.

Our deepest condolences.
Even though I didn't meet uncle Jim personally my kids were guests at his home when traveling with Karen Veverica.
I have no doubt he is watching over us surrounded by heavenly Angels. His actions on earth earned him the reward to be with God and Christ.

To the Kobza family, thank you for sharing Jim with all of us at Seminole Shoes Assisted Living Center. We were bless to get to know many of you and to care for Jim.

At a family reunion held on a farm west of Wausau, WI, circa 1998, Uncle Jim, drove the tractor with an attached hay wagon. It was so much fun! He spent a lot of time driving that tractor until everyone had a ride. Thank you Uncle Jim for being you! - Does anyone have a photo of him driving the tractor?!
