Jim was a long-time resident of Mayfield Village previously living in East Cleveland where he was raised.  He was a member of Mayfield United Methodist Church in Mayfield Village for many years.  Jim loved all sports.  In particular, bowling and golf.  He enjoyed watching Indians, Cavaliers and Browns games regularly and spent countless hours watching golf and bowling.  His wife, who preceded him in death, was the one that gave Jim the very most enjoyment.  He always said he was married to his best-friend for 63 years.  His daughters describe him as happy, outgoing, truly loved by all and especially very handy and could fix anything for his family.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Jim’s memory to Hospice of the Western Reserve 17876 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, 44110.  Private family services were held.  All Arrangements handled by DeJOHN-FLYNN-MYLOTT FUNERAL HOME OF WILLOUGHBY HILLS.  Online obituary and guestbook at www.DeJohnCares.com
