James W. "Jim" Prybil Obituary

Jim and I were friends in North Liberty way back when. He was warm and giving. I was shocked to learn in June of '18 of his death as I have been living in FL and hadn't seen him for a few years. Rest in peace, dear friend.

I remember his story of his mom dressing chickens and misplacing one of them, which he found in his white convertible, 1960s was it? We had so many laughs.

Me and uncle Jim were best friends he would do anything for any one and give me joy and happy ness every day may he be off with his loving family in haven I love you uncle Jim

We are very sad to hear of Jims passing your family is on our thoughts and prayers

I sure am going to miss that big smile and those cold Millers we would have when I was finished cleaning. RIP my Friend ! You WILL be Missed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy Jeep was one of my brothers best friends growing up! He would pick us up in his old jeep & we would bounce over every bump & rut there was! He was quite a talker & a character all his own!
My sympathies to the family!

Leave a condolence or a memory.

Wes and Shelly, you all have been in our prayers this week. We are so sorry for your loss.

I will always miss his jokes (mostly at my mom's expense) and the tone of his voice. And just how kind he was to us when we were kids. My brother, sister and I were the youngest grandkids for a long time. My uncle would one minute be having a loud conversation (yelling, that is how they talked) with his brothers, then turn to us and ask us how we were doing, in a calmer voice, of course. He always

He always asked us what was going on. Like young kids had much going on in life. But he was always took interest. I loved getting the scratch off lotto tickets every Christmas. He always would apologize ahead of time if they weren't winners. He taught me how to respect the flag. That if he caught me chewing gum when it went by, we would have words. LOL I knew that his words were bigger than his bite. But to this day, I get upset when I see that the flag is not being honored in the way it should be. I always think of how Uncle Jim would grumble about it and how he would have pointed it out.
I will have great memories of my Uncle Jim. I just wish in life that I made time to tell him.

Jim always held a special place in my heart. He worked for my late husband, Mike Volk at the DOT. Jim was a kind and gentle soul. Always there when you needed him and would do anything for you. Mike really enjoyed Jim and teased him all the time. He cooked for both our sons rehearsal dinners and was very paticular. Now you can see some of your buddies in heaven. I will miss your smile and teasing. Losts of Love Donna
