James ALMA Obituary
I graduated from Burnettsville High School far from being an honor student. Didn't make it past 4 quarters of college, but managed to graduate from the Spokane Police Academy in 1968.
I spent 28 years as a Deputy Sheriff with the Spokane Sheriff's Department and another 8 as Curt Security Officer at the Spokane Federal Court House.
I finally have that youthful look again with a full head of hair….as I have been cremated. I will be resting with my wife Karen near my boys in Fairmount Memorial Park, not far from where I trained on a Sheriff's motor in the Joe Albi Stadium parking lot.
Please come celebrate my life with all my family and thank you for sharing my life with me. -Love, Jim
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, September 30, 2023 at Fairmount Memorial Park, 5200 W Wellesley Ave, Spokane, WA 99205. Professional services are being conducted by Ball & Dodd Funeral Home
