He liked vacationing in Michigan and Minnesota for over 40 years. Jim enjoyed fishing and hunting as well. He also liked to take the motor home to Salamonie to camp, fish, and enjoy time with family.
He is survived by his wife, Becky, and their children, Brenda (Mike) Clark, Jane (Chuck) Apple, and Pam (Gary) Cox. Also surviving are grandchildren, Mark Gibson, Scott (Donna) Gibson, Randy Craft, Kristina (Mike) May, Lisa Scott, and Cameron Apple; several great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Ginger.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his sisters, Ruby Miller, Pearl McNew, Kate Baines, and his twin sister, Margie Rector. Also preceding was his special friend and mother-in-law, Edith McAvoy.
Graveside services will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, April 25, 2014 at Crownland Cemetery, 1776 Monument Street, in Noblesville, with Rev. Stanley R. Sutton officiating.

Jim trained me as a dispatcher in 1964. I always enjoyed his humor and police knowledge. He will be missed.

I am a retired Noblesville Police Officer, I never met Jim but heard stories about him. I think they called him Scotty. My dad was a reserve back in the early 60's and I remember dad talking about what a good man he was. Sorry for your loss.

Pam, our hearts were saddened when we learned of your dad's passing. I heard you were very close and know you will miss him very much. Praying for you and your family. Clarence & Gay Roberts and Pam
