Glen James “Jim” Cauble, husband, father, and grandfather, embraced the Lord’s loving arms on November 30, 2020 after a valiant 17 month fight with pancreatic cancer. He ran the race well and it is now time to rest.
Jim Cauble, 74, of Gering, Nebraska, died at home after a blessed Thanksgiving weekend with his wife, daughters, and grandchildren. He was born in Lander, Wyoming, on December 25, 1945 to Phyllis Hendrick of Casper, Wyoming. He graduated from Kimball High School in 1964 and earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Chadron State College.
On July 27, 1969 he married the love of his life, Cheryl Marie Kaufman - his bride of 51 years. Shortly after they were wed, Jim proudly served his country in the army in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971. Jim developed diabetes later in life due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Jim worked at Farm Credit, Scottsbluff National Bank (later becoming Firstier Bank), and was proud to have been on the founding team at Platte Valley Bank.
