James Purdy, Jr. Obituary
Jim lived a life full of adventure, proudly serving in the US Army as part of the 101st Airborne and 10th US Cavalry, and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant. He continued his pursuit of adventure as a multi-sport athlete and avid outdoorsman. His successful career in concrete sales spanned many decades before retirement in 2015.
Absent from the body, present with the Lord!
Jim's wish was that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Wounded Warriors Project.

Sorry for your loss. I'll always remember his deep bass voice in the choirs at KCBC. And when we all played softball. We've been praying for you all.
