JAMES SETTER Obituary

James C. Setter, 75, a long-time resident of the Volusia County area, passed away on January 4,
2010. He was born and raised in the Detroit, Michigan area and was a graduate of Redford High School. After high school, he opened his own insurance company and managed the family business, Setter Finance. He later earned his living as a credit manager for Cunningham Oil for 22 years prior to retiring. In the late 70's, he reunited with his high school sweetheart, Doris Royal, who were together for over 30 years. Jim's passion was assisting those who struggled with mental health issues and was an integral part of the "AA" community, helping those who were dependant on alcohol and drugs. In addition, he was a proud board member of Stewart Marchman Act Behavioral Health for over 20 years. When he was asked what his hobbies were, he always said "socializing"; he never met a stranger! He will best be remembered for his giving nature, his sense of responsibility for others, and his dazzling smile. He will be dearly missed by all who had the opportunity to know him. Left to cherish his memory is his sister, Nancy Scherr of Madison, WI; his stepson, Norman Royal; relatives in Michigan, and many good friends. He was predeceased by his wife, Doris. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, January 17th at 3:00 at the Unitarian Universalist Society, 56 N. Halifax Drive, Ormond Beach, FL 32176. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Stewart Marchman Act Behavioral Health, 1220 Willis Avenue, Daytona Beach, FL 32114, or Easy Does It AA Club, 266 N. Younge Street, Ormond Beach, FL 32174. Condolences are welcome and may be shared with the family online at www.lohmanfuneralhomes.com

It was my pleasure to have both Jim and Doris as customers at Harbor Federal Savings and Loan. He was a kind and gentle man and I'm glad I knew him even a little.

I am so sorry to hear about Jim. He was my contact w/Cunningham since 1983 and was always so kind. When my hubby passed he called me to see if he could do anything as I did when he lost Doris. I have nothing but fond memories of him.
