On Aug. 2, 1952, he married Wilma Hartzell, who preceded him in 2015. He retired from Fidler Concrete after more than 40 years of service.
Those who knew Jim would agree that he never truly retired, as he helped his son-in-law on his car lot for years and would help friends and neighbors fix anything needing repaired.
Jim is survived by his two daughters: Diana Granger, of Warsaw; and Colleen (Brad) Arnsdorf, of Goshen; grandchildren: Daren (Andrea) Granger, Dallas (Kathy) Granger and Emily (Alex) Osborne; four great-grandchildren; and one brother, Jacob Gall.
Along with his wife Wilma, Jim was preceded by his son-in-law, David Granger; grandson, Deven Granger; brother, Bill; sisters: Loella, Irene and Virgie.
Services will be held on Saturday, July 10 at 1 p.m. at the Hepton Union Church located at 9266 W. Hepton Road, Nappanee, of which Jim was a lifelong member. Visitation will be two hours prior to the service from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Burial will follow at the cemetery at the church.
