During a 30 day leave, Jim met the love of his life, Alta Lindley, at a Sunday family dinner. In Jim’s words, “The best thing I’ve done with my life was to get serious about Alta”. They were married October 19, 1956 and just celebrated their 63rd anniversary. Jim and Alta purchased the family ranch on Dry Creek and have lived there ever since.

He will be missed by so many. Jim is survived by wife, Alta; children Peggy (Charles) Becken, Lauren (Barbara) Scholten; grandchildren Morgan and Brandon Scholten; brothers Dewey (Darlene) Scholten, Gerald (Patricia) Scholten; and many nieces and nephews.
