James Francis Cline

James Francis Cline- a 76 year-old native of Bucyrus, OH and longtime resident of Mobile passed away at a local hospital on Friday, June 26, 2015. He was preceded in death by his parents, John H. and Mary Kempf Cline of Shelby OH; daughters, Patricia E. Cline and Lisa D. Cline; and sister, Janet C. Beer.

He leaves behind his loving wife Audrey; his daughters, Deborah C. Cruce (Alan) and Susan R. Cline of Mobile; grandchildren, Ryan J. Cline and Erin E. Knowles; two sisters, Gaylene Bishop of Newark, OH and Sr. Lois Ann Cline of Rockford, IL; plus many other family and friends.

He was retired from Halliburton Kellogg Brown & Root as a material expeditor. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting “Boompa”/”Pappy” you would have known he called his wife of 55 years “his bride,” every story was probably an exaggeration, that Erin was his grasshopper and RJ was his grandson, that he had an infectious smile, answered every Saturday phone call during football season with Roll Tide, and loved harder than any person we know. We love and miss you Jim, Daddy, Pappy and Boompa.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Savior Catholic Church on Monday, June 29, 2015, at 11 a.m. The family will receive friends at the church from 10 a.m. until the service hour. Interment will be in Mobile Memorial Gardens.
