James Windham Hoover

Jim was raised primarily in Willow Springs, Missouri until moving to Inglewood, California in his late high school years. He met his wife, Jonnie, at a bowling alley and they both quickly fell in love.

He wanted to be his own boss and started his printing business, Hoover Printing & Lithography, in 1964 which is still run today by his son, Rod Hoover. Jim enjoyed water-skiing, snow-skiing and motorcycle riding with his family and friends. He was known as a loving, kind hearted, generous man who truly enjoyed people.

He will be lovingly remembered by his children: Keli Sindelar (John), Romy Hayes (Chip) and Rod Hoover (Kathy) as well as his grandchildren: Witni, Meghen, Chelsea, AJ and Justin; great-grandchildren: Travis, Nicholas, Halen, David, Savannah and Jaxon; sister, Sue Peters (Bernie) and numerous relatives and friends.

He was predeceased by his loving wife of 63 years, Jonnie Hoover; sister, Shirley Engstrom and his parents: Ethel and Howard Hoover.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Calvary Church of Santa Ana, 1010 N. Tustin Ave., Santa Ana, CA on Friday, November 22, 2024 at 11 am.

Please wear bright colors as we are celebrating Jim’s life and we know that he is now dancing with Jonnie in heaven.
