            James Paul “Jim” Stubbs, of West Rockhill Twp. and formerly of Sellersville, PA, passed away Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at his home.  He was 68.

            He was the loving husband of Patricia “Trish” M. (Gwilliam) Stubbs.  The couple had celebrated their 48th Wedding Anniversary on September 28, 2023.

            Born in Bloomsburg, PA, he was the son of Donald R. Stubbs, of Souderton, PA, and the late Clara J. (Prebula) Stubbs.  

            Jim was a 1973 graduate of Pennridge High School, Perkasie, PA, where he was a member of the Swim Team. Jim also studied carpentry at the Upper Bucks Vocational-Technical School, Perkasie.

            He was employed as the Head Carpenter for the Pennridge School District, Perkasie, for 35 years until retiring in 2007.
