The family of James, with love and hope in our hearts, announce his passing on April 4, 2020 in the Lamont Hospital. He was 87 years of age. James was predeceased by his parents Robert and Alvina, his sister Ruth, brother Ben, and brother Samuel. Left to cherish his memory: his wife of 49 years, Elaine; son Robert (Lenora); and son Mark (Kim); his grandchildren Josie, Kaylie, Cody, James, Emily, Jaynie, and Anna. As well, he is survived by his sister-in-law Eleanor, sister Vangie (Ray), brother Walter (Dona), sister-in-law Louise (Fern), sister-in-law Helen, sister-in-law Dee, brother-in-law Jim (Paulette), and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. James was born to Robert and Alvina on the farm near Bruderheim on September 6, 1932. Where he lived and farmed for nearly 87 years, until a stroke placed him in the hospital in June of 2019. He worked hard and loved his family and animals, especially the horses. Most of all he loved his Lord with whom he now resides.
At this time, due to the current circumstances, the family will have a private grave-side burial. We, the family, wish to thank the staff of Lamont Health Care Center for his care these last months. He supported and was involved for many years with Shiloh Youth Ranch. For anyone wishing, please make a donation there, in lieu of flowers.
