James Harstine Obituary
WARSAW: James Clyde "Jim" Harstine, 66, of TR 35, died Sunday July 8, 2012 as the result of a motorcycle accident.
He was born March 13, 1946 in Coshocton to the late Arthur A. and Jean L. (Bender) Harstine. He served in the Army National Guard from 1965-1971. He was an electrician for many years, and a member of the I.B.E.W. #1105. He enjoyed wood-working and carpentry, and as he would say, "tinkering with his toys."
He is survived by his wife of nearly 38 years, Janet (McCormick) Harstine of Warsaw, who he married on Aug. 30, 1974. Also surviving is a son, Kurt (Emily) Harstine of Ashland, two daughters; Kendra (Craig) Bordenkircher of West Lafayette, and Kristin Harstine of Warsaw, one granddaughter, Penelope James Harstine, a sister, Janet Couts of Newcomerstown, three brothers; Rodney (Connie) Harstine, Robert (Deanna) Harstine, and Joseph (Julia) Harstine, all of Warsaw, an aunt, Freda Cooper of Newcomerstown, an uncle, Carl Harstine of San Dimas, CA, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to his parents, Arthur Harstine and Jean Harstine-Tidball, he is preceded in death by a sister, Carolyn Harstine.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Friday July 13, 2012 at the Fischer Funeral Home in Warsaw with Paul Reed officiating. A private burial will follow at the Harstine residence, with graveside military rites performed by the Coshocton Co. Joint Veterans Council. Calling hours are from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday July 12th at the funeral home. www.fischerfuneralhome.com
