He was born to J. Arnold and Adelaide Keller Bertrand. He and his wife Mary Jean, lived in Miles City until 2006. Jim attended Sacred Heart Elementary School. In 1945 two days after graduating from Custer County High School, he and most of his buddies reported for duty in WW II. He served in the Army of Occupation (Germany). After his honorable discharge, he returned home and began his 41 year career with Benson Optical. On August 15, 1948, Jim married Mary Jean Venable. To this union two girls and two boys were born. Each year, Jim and Mary Jean would take their family on memorable vacation, many in Montana, some further away to Minnesota and California, etc. As their children expanded their horizons, Jim and Mary Jean would travel to visit them. Jim was a life member of the VFW and Knights of Columbus. He was Commander of the American Legion for a year. He was a Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the local Level three years and Quartermaster for six years. He went on to serve in all state offices and became State Commander 1998-1999. A highlight during this time was traveling to Italy with other State Commanders, their spouses and the National Commander. Jim was especially proud to be on the task force and planning committee for the new Miles City VA Cemetery. He loved being involved in his community. After retirement and lovingly caring for his daughter, Kitty, who passed away from MS, Jim and Mary Jean moved to Billings to be closer to family. They enjoyed attending the Miles City Breakfast Club and chatting with their relocated Miles City friends. Preceding Jim in death are his wid=fe Mary Jean, son Mike, daughter Kitty Gerace, sister Mary Rita (Harry) Kimmerle and brother Bill (Pat) Bertrand. Surviving are family members.
