It is with a heavy heart that I tell everyone that Jim Koch passed away yesterday.
Below is the Facebook post from his wife last night:
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Jimmy passed away tonight. I am so happy for him because he is with Jesus. But our hearts are broken.
I want to thank each and every one of you who has been praying and encouraging us through this. Even though we rarely responded, we read every message and post and it gave us strength, hope, courage to keep going. I cannot express how much that has meant to both of us to feel so loved. So I will simply say again, thank you all.
There have been many people asking what they can do to help or care for us in this time. And now I know what we need most. I am asking anyone who wants to bless me and the kids and help us through this... please write (on paper!) something personal about Jimmy and what he means to you. it can be a funny story, something you love about him, some way that he helped or blessed you, something cool or awesome that you love about him, some way he showed you kindness, a great memory; it can be anything really. Please please please write it down and mail it to us. It would mean the world to me and the family to hear how much he means to all of you. We have a Big wooden box at home with prayers for him in it, and we want to fill it all the way up with stories about how wonderful he is.
Thank you all. We love you.
