James Wallace Obituary
James was born on November 14, 1941, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late James Wallace and Elizabeth McBride. His family later moved to Massac County, Illinois, where he spent much of his childhood, before eventually relocating to Clinton, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Mary Wallace; his stepchildren; and his three sisters.
Left to cherish his memory is his nephew, Justin Purcell (Amanda) of Murray, Kentucky.
Mr. Wallace will be interred in Clinton, IA.

He will be missed by his grandson and granddaughter (myself) in Clinton, IA. I wish I could've been with him at the end. Love you grandpa! I'll miss you and I'll miss our weekly phone calls.
