James Skelton

1942-06-16 2013-07-18


              Jim Skelton died Thursday, July 18, 2013 about 6 p.m.   

His brother Jerry and his daughter who lives in San Francisco

were both on their way, but did not get there in time.  His long time

sweetheart, Nora, was with him and holding his hand.


James Skelton came to our 50 year reunion..whiskers and all...He brought his good friend Susan Rehart (from our class) to the event. I got to be email pals with Jim and loved to hear his stories of travels across the country just to ride on a special train...he just loved trains. He was a science teacher, lived out hear Hemet and had a variety of animals he cared for. I was invited to his Wake...it was an event where he was still alive and invited all his friend to some and visit him before he died...what a great idea...so sorry I could not attend. rest in peace, Jim...from Diane Tollefson
