James Doscher Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 1, 2025.
James Doscher, a proud Marine, devoted father, grandfather and great grandfather. Lover of the great outdoors, he passed away peacefully on April 6, 2025 at the age of 95.
Born on July 14, 1929, Jim spent 22 years in the United States Marine Corps, where he dedicated himself to service, leading supply operations with honor and commitment. After retiring from the military, he worked for NCR for 20 years, where his strong work ethic and reliability continued to make an impact.
Jim's love for nature was evident in his many outdoor adventures, especially his backpacking trips through the Sierra Nevadas and his quiet moments fishing. In his workshop, he found solace in woodworking, turning raw materials into creations that spoke to his craftsmanship.
Jim is survived by his daughters Linda Bush and Barbara Doscher. His legacy will live on in the stories he shared and the love he gave.
He was loved and will be missed.
