James Loop Obituary
Jim had a passion for riding motorcycles, cabinet making, woodworking, spending time with his grandchildren and attending their school functions. He spent countless years attending the University of Washington Husky football games and loved hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Jim could always tell a great joke or story.
To carry on his memory are his son, Richard (Teresa) Loop and daughters, Sharilyn (Rick) Matthews, Mendy Bucy and Marcie (Keith) O'Bryan. He was a beloved Papa to grandchildren, Sean (Amy) Bucy, Jay and Steven Bucy, Tegan (Alex) Stratton, Ian (Michael) O'Bryan, Katie Matthews and LeAnn Matthews; great grandchildren, Jace, Shay, Roanan and Aubrey. His loved ones also include his sister, Gayle (Don) Hull; brother-in-law, Kenny (Jodi) Gundersen; nephew, Brian (Tracy) Hull; niece, Kristin (George) Alvarez; Marlow (Matt) Finlinson and their children, Harper and Campbell, and special friend, Lou Ann Davis.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Eldred Loop and Evelyn (Christiansen) Loop; his wife, Myrna (Jo) Loop; son-in-law, Jim Bucy.
Jim loved his family and friends and spoke of them often. Our sincerest thanks go out to the staff in the adult care unit of Peace Health United Hospital in Sedro-Woolley, Birchview Memory Care and Nurse Colleen with Hospice. Per Jim's wishes there will be no funeral. The family will honor him after cremation at a private graveside service.
The family asks that any heartfelt donations be gifted to Hospice of the Northwest Foundation, 227 Freeway Drive, Suite A, Mount Vernon, WA 98273, in memory of James Loop. Share your memories of James and sign the online guest register www.lemleychapel.com.

Jim was my last link to Sedro Woolley´s round table at the old Gateway. I enjoyed working with him, and appreciated his sense of humor and his self-depreciating attitude. In many ways, he was The Last Man Standing of his group. I will miss him.
