James VANDEVER Obituary
James D Vandever (Jim) passed away on Oct 3, 2017. He was only 67.
He is survived by his wife Judy, stepson Geoffrey, his sister Jane, sister-in-law Judy, 3 nieces & 3 nephews, along with their spouses & significant others, 6 great nieces, 2 great nephews & 4 kitties who loved and were loved by him and who will miss his laughter, his sense of fun and his loving heart.
He was a graduate of P.M.C. where he became a TKE, spent 6 years as an Army officer and worked his entire career in construction.
RIP “Whale” aka “Jimmy-9-Toes”. You are loved and will be missed.
To paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson,
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

You always had a way to make work fun; your teasing and laughter always echoed through the office. I bet you will still be teasing Patricia, now that you are both gone. Rest in Peace and know we will miss you and that our love is with Judy. Sandy Witt

I still can't believe you are not here Jimmy 9 Toes. However, you have forced your way into my thinking with past memories and experiences. I just returned from Homecoming and you were discussed frequently throughout the weekend. We toasted you Friday evening. I hope the Good Lord does not have a penalty flag for holding. Judy, you are constantly in Paula and my prayers. May God bless.
