In Memory Max James Kusser 1957-1978 Jim, bom and raised on K Lazy K Ranch, had a definite attitude about life. As an independent and self-relaint man he belived if you were to do something you did it right or not at all. Jim had a supreme determination to uphold the tradition of K Lazy K Ranch. He was a handsome young man with dark brown hair, very distinct blue eyes, a devilish grin, and usally wore a black hat. Jim's many interest included hunting, waterskiing, roping, working on his truck, repairing things, or just spending time with his friends. He had an insatible appetite for life and lived with style and enthusiasm. He possessed great dimension despite his youth. He was mechanically inclined to the point of being near genuis. Though our hearts are heavy with the grief of his passing, we are constantly reminded of the richness and good times he brought to our lives by a memory of him: a picture, his truck, a song, a joke, or his distinct laugh. He is gone, but his memory will remain with us forever. 16
