Bluher (Whitney Harvey-Bluher) and Kathryn Mueller (Kevin); loving grandfather of Bryce, Declan, and Clare Bluher and James O., Aira, and Kellan Mueller. Brother of Jan Young, Judie Legg (John), and Jenny Hodges (Jim). Uncle and great uncle to many.

Jim was a loyal fan of Seattle sports. He loved going to amusement parks and water parks (if the water was warm enough!) with his grandchildren. He found it impossible to sit still and always needed a project. For over 2 decades he was "Janitor Jim" at Centerville High School and loved talking to the students. He had an infectious smile and a quirky sense of humor, always willing to lend a hand or ask 'what do you need?" He was also a talented woodworker.
